Pongal 2027

Notes: Date and timings shown are computed for New Delhi, India using Swiss Ephemeris. Computed from Engine D's real Sun Rashi-ingress schedule (endpoint #30, Sprint 12), which is precomputed for 2015-01-01 to 2040-01-01 — a year outside that range returns no occurrences rather than a fabricated date. Sankranti timing is location-independent (the Sun's sidereal Rashi doesn't depend on the observer's city), so results are identical for every city; `begins` uses the schedule's day-precision date at its fixed IST 06:00 reference rather than the exact ingress second, and `ends` is not applicable (Sankranti is an instant, not a tithi-like window). Relabeled from the Makara Sankranti entry of Engine D's Sun transit schedule (same underlying event as Makar Sankranti by definition); Pongal's own 4-day span is not separately modeled — this is its anchor day (Thai Pongal/Makar Sankranti). Always cross-check with your family priest for a personalised Muhurat.
