Makar Sankranti marks the Sun's entry into Makara (sidereal Capricorn) and the start of Uttarayan, the Sun's northward half of the year. It is one of the few Hindu festivals fixed by the Sun rather than the Moon.
It falls on the day the Sun enters Makara. When the ingress happens after sunset, the festival is kept the next day.
