Kumbh Sankranti 2026: Religious significance of Kumbh Sankranti
Religion Desk, New Delhi. According to the Vedic calendar, Kumbh Sankranti is on Friday 13th February. This festival is celebrated every month on the date of Sun God's zodiac change. On this auspicious occasion, a large number of devotees take a dip of faith in the Ganga and its tributaries. Along with this, worship, chanting, penance and charity are done.
Tarpan to ancestors is also done on Sankranti date. It is said that by offering tarpan to the ancestors on Sankranti date, the souls of the ancestors get peace (Pitra Dosha Remedies on Sankranti). Also, the blessings of the ancestors shower on a particular person. If you also want to be a part of the blessings of the ancestors, then on the day of Kumbh Sankranti, take bath, meditate and worship Lord Shiva (Kumbh Sankranti 2026 Puja Vidhi). At the same time, recite Ganga Chalisa at the time of Shiva Abhishek.
