Sir,

 Thanks for Pongal article.

  >>Pongal is the only festival of Hindu that follows a solar calendar 
and  is celebrated on the fourteenth of January every year.<<

 Chittirai Vishu (Tamil/Kerala Ugadi) is also as per solar calendar.
 It falls exactly 3 months after Pongal sankranti.

 Also, perhaps it is more apprpriate to use Pongal Sankranti
  instead of Makara sankranti, because, it is not the Zodiac of Makara 
that  Sun enters (SankramaNa/Sankranti) on Jan 14, although it used
 to be at some time in the past (may be 2000 years ago)- because
 of wobbling of Earth.

 dAsan

 K.S. tAtAchAr
