Rituals You Must Follow

As you know, Simha Sankranti is a day dedicated to Lord Vishnu, the planet Surya and Lord Narasimha. Therefore, on this auspicious day, devotees should worship these three deities with respect. People also perform abhishek of nariyal or coconut on Singh Sankranti as a part of holy bath. You should only use fresh coconut water for this ritual. Remember to specially clean the coconut water used for Nariyal Abhishek as it is an extremely important part of the ritual. Once this is done, you should worship Lord Ganesha before moving on to other parts of the puja ceremony. This is done to please Lord Ganesha and invite his blessings on your rituals. It is also known as Appa Puja. If you are a devotee of Lord Vishnu, you can continue worshiping Lord Vishnumurti for the next one month, when the planet Sun will transit in Virgo or Virgo. During the puja on Simha Sankranti, you should offer flowers, fruits and various kinds of sweets to the deities, apart from chanting mantras and seeking their blessings. The day is celebrated with much pomp and fervor at the main temple of Lord Vishnumurthy located at Kulai near Mangalore. On this day you will see the priest performing the above mentioned rituals as per the timing of the Muhurta. If you wish, you can also visit many temples in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, where these worship and rituals are performed with reverence on Har Singh Sankranti.

Significance of Singh Sankranti

Since it is an important day of worship for all the devotees of Lord Vishnu, let us understand the religious meanings behind Simha Sankranti. The festival was conceived in the Kumaon belt of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where, during the reign of the Chand dynasty, artisans visited the palace to display their beautiful creations. Artisans used to visit the palace on the occasion of Singh Sankranti and they were well rewarded for their efforts and art. The festivities then expanded to include the dynasty’s commoners, who began visiting the palace and offering fruits and flowers to members of the royal family, known as Olag’s rites. Apart from this, people consume bread made from horse beans on this day, adding a lot of butter and ghee to it. With the use of ghee on Singh Sankranti, people started considering it as Ghrit Sankranti in the Bageshwar region of Kumaon, Uttarakhand. Therefore, it is believed that celebrating Simha Sankranti is good for traders and businessmen as it can help them to keep the cost of commodities normal while bringing them wealth and prosperity. It also brings good health to the devotees, increases intimacy between nations and increases agricultural production. Now that you know the significance of the festival and the rituals to be followed, we wish you a very Happy Singh Sankranti.

It will retrograde back to the 25th of Virgo, where it stabilizes directly on 2nd October, the birthdays of Mahatma Gandhi and Groucho Marx. It casts a shadow zone between 25 Virgo and 9 Libra, and on August 21 Mercury enters 25 Virgo, the degree where it will go SD in early October.
