Kanya Sankranti is a Hindu solar observance marking the Sun’s transition into Kanya, or Virgo, in the traditional calendar. In some regions it is associated with Vishwakarma Puja, when tools, machines, workplaces and creative labour are honoured. The day may include prayers for safety, prosperity, skill and respect for work.

Event Suggestions:
• Exploring the Hindu solar calendar and the meaning of Sankranti
