Cultural significance
In India, the zodiac sign of Capricorn is celebrated as the Makara Sankranti festival,[2] also known in Nepal as Maghe Sankranti.[3] The Indian astronomical calendar is not based on the western Gregorian or Julian date keeping system. The Gregorian calendar has fixed days in a year and does not accommodate difference in the actual solar year. Therefore, the festival is celebrated on either of January 14 or 15 every year, when, per the Indian astronomical calendar, the Sun actually enters the Capricorn sign.
