What is Mithuna Sankranti?
Mithuna Sankranti is observed when the Sun enters Gemini, bringing a new phase in the Hindu solar year. But from a spiritual lens, this transition is all about balance and transformation. The fiery energy of the Sun moves into a more communicative and thought-driven space. It’s the perfect time to clear your mind, seek inner alignment, and offer gratitude to nature.
It also starts the third solar month in the Hindu calendar, called Mithuna Masa. In many parts of India, particularly in Odisha and South India, people observe this day with prayers, fasting, and simple rituals.
Significance of Mithuna Sankranti
- A Time for New Beginnings
Mithuna Sankranti reminds us that change is natural. It signals the end of summer and the start of the soothing monsoon season. It is a good time to let go of the past and begin new habits or prayers. - Worship of Lord Vishnu and Surya Dev
The Sun is seen as Surya Dev in Hinduism—a divine force that keeps the world alive and glowing. Devotees offer water and recite prayers to feel stronger and more focused. Many people pray to Lord Vishnu for guidance, protection, and peace of mind. - Feminine Energy & Fertility Worship
Odisha celebrates this day as “Raja Parba,” a festival dedicated to women and Mother Earth. The earth is seen as a mother, and her cycle is honoured in a symbolic way. It’s a joyful three-day festival filled with fun, rest, and respect for the feminine energy.
