This auspicious day will be celebrated with a Rudra Abhishekam at 6:00 PM and Rudra Homa at 7:00 PM.  Cleaning the home and discarding/burning unused items, clutter, and possessions in disrepair is highly recommended as a way to put the past behind us and start fresh on Sankranti.  January 14 is Sankranti when the sun moves into the auspicious north direction.
