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 ------------------------ Yahoo!
