About Us

Sankranti (pronounced - 'sum-kraanthi' ) is derived from a Sanskrit term which translates to "Positive Change". According to Hindu transcripts, this is the time when the Sun God transitions (changes or kranti) into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. This change marks the end of Winter Solstice and start of Uttarayan (uttara - North; ayana - movement) marking the beginning of longer days. Sankranti usually falls on January 14th every year. Most scholars believe the festival of Sankranti is nearly 5,000 years old. Join us daily as we celebrate the bountiful harvest.
