This South Indian festival, Thai Pongal, is timed by an astronomical event - the winter solstice.[3] Pongal is traditionally dedicated to the "Sun God Surya",[4] and marks the beginning of the northward journey of the Sun from its southernmost-limit, a movement traditionally referred to as uttarayana.[3] It coincides with the festival Makara Sankranthi celebrated throughout India as the winter harvest,[4] and is usually held from January 13–15 in the Gregorian calendar i.e. from the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi to the third day of Thai.[5] This also represents the Indic solstice when the sun purportedly enters the 10th house of the Indian zodiac i.e. Makaram or Capricorn.[5]<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PongalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
