Why isn't it always 14 January?
Solar ingress drifts relative to sunset rules; in 2027 post-sunset transit pushes observance to 15 January.
Is Pongal the same day?
It aligns with the same solar season; confirm Tamil multi-day schedules separately.
Can I use 2026 pages for the 2027 date?
Use them for ritual ideas, not for the date.
