The Punya Kala of Mesha Sankranti is considered highly meritorious for Surya Arghya (offering water to the rising Sun), charitable giving (Dana), ancestral rites (Pitru Tarpan), and Japa. Auspicious ceremonies (vivah, upanayana, griha pravesh) are conventionally avoided during the Sankranti window itself.

Note on Ingress Time
The ingress moment varies slightly across Panchangas and ayanamsa systems. AstroGravity's engine computes 09:32 AM IST using the Lahiri ayanamsa (Swiss Ephemeris, bisection search to ±1 second). The Gujarat Dharmik Panchang (cross-verified NASA JPL) gives 09:28 AM IST — a 4-minute difference within normal ayanamsa interpolation variance. The Tamil/Sri Lanka Panchanga cites 03:52 AM IST, likely computed using a different epoch or tropical base. All times shown on this page use AstroGravity's own engine value.
