๐ Date: 14 Jan 2027๐ Surya Makar Sankranti๐ Hindu month: Magh
The Sun turns north into Capricorn โ a day of holy dips, kite-flying and the winter harvest; kept as Pongal and Lohri too.
Why do the dates change every year?
Hindu and Nepali festivals follow the lunisolar Bikram Samvat calendar โ dates are fixed by the lunar tithi, so they drift in the Gregorian calendar each year. The dates on this page are the curated 2026โ27 observances (Drik Panchang reckoning for New Delhi and the official Nepali calendar).
