This year's note
Dhanu Sankranti 2026 is 2026-12-16 — the first Jaipur sunrise at which this site's engine places the sun in that rashi. Sun enters Sagittarius. In some eastern lists this is a snan day; clocks stay local. The exact ingress minute can fall on the previous evening; use your city panchang that morning, not a Delhi clock.
Sun, not tithi
A sankranti is the sun entering a rashi. The civil date here is usually the first Jaipur sunrise with the sun in that sign. The exact minute can fall the previous evening — open your city panchang that morning.

Common panchang questions
- Same date in every city?
- Usually yes. The ingress minute moves with longitude; strict homes read city sunrise.
