Questions

Which Hindu festivals are in January 2027 in Australia?

Bhogi: Jan 14; Lohri: Jan 14; Makar Sankranti: Jan 15; Thai Pongal: Jan 15; Kanuma: Jan 16; Thaipusam: Jan 23.

Why are some dates in Australia different from India?

A festival is fixed by the tithi at the right time of day (sunrise, sunset, moonrise and so on) in your own city. Australia is 4½ to 15½ hours away from India, so the same tithi can fall on a different local day. This month 2 of 15 days differ from India.
