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.
