Why Perform Shani Puja On Makar Sankranti?

• There is a ruling planet for each year according to the beliefs of astrology and the Hindu religion and that planet dominates and influences that particular year the most.

• This year, the ruling planet of 2024 is Saturn and the year will see the most auspicious and inauspicious influence of Saturn.
• With the Sun’s transit into Capricorn on Makar Sankranti, Shani and Sun will come together which is expected to yield inauspicious results as per astrology. This is because the relationship between these two planets is not considered good.

• Therefore, to avoid inauspiciousness throughout the year and make this year yours on good terms, the expert suggests you worship Shanidev along with the Lord Sun on Makar Sankranti, the first festival of the year, according to the Hindu calendar.
