About Dates Significance & Mythologies Puja Vidhi & Katha Types When it is about the Sankranti followers, the information of Sankranti dates is not enough for them. They show great interest in three types of muhurta as well, which are- Muhurat of Sankranti Sankranti Punya Kaal Sankranti Maha Punya Kaal It is to be noted that the whole Sankranti Day or Sankranti moment is not special or beneficial. Only certain Ghati(s) (time) before and after the Sankranti moment are important and considered auspicious for performing righteous charitable activities. This particular time period is known as Sankranti Punya Kaal (auspicious time) and Sankranti Maha Punya Kaal (highly auspicious time). All the Sankraman events or festive rituals are performed in this duration only, which is found out as per the Panhcang Muhurat.
