Mesha Sankranti, also known as Mesha Sankramanam or Aries Sankranti, is a Hindu festival celebrated in India to mark the beginning of the solar cycle. It falls on the same day every year according to the Hindu calendar, usually around April 14th.

On this day, people take a holy dip in rivers and perform rituals to seek blessings for prosperity and good health. Special prayers are offered to Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva to seek their blessings.

Mesha Sankranti is also a time for feasting and celebrating with friends and family. Traditional sweets and dishes are prepared, and people exchange gifts and greetings to usher in the new year with joy and positivity.
