Normally Sankranti is seen as just an astrological Sun transition event in which the Sun enters from its existing Rashi to the next Rashi, but its significance is much more. Tula Sankranti is not observed just for fulfilling the religious ritual, but it is celebrated with thanksgiving for the food and prosperity people get from their God. It is believed that God not only blesses with the growth of the grain but also keeps them safe by keeping the harmful species and events at bay.
