Bhogi: Jan 13; Lohri: Jan 13; Makar Sankranti: Jan 14; Thai Pongal: Jan 14; Kanuma: Jan 15; Thaipusam: Jan 22.

Why are some dates in the USA 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. USA is 4½ to 15½ hours away from India, so the same tithi can fall on a different local day. This month 11 of 15 days differ from India.

Is the date the same on the East and West coast?

Not always: this month 2 dates differ between time zones, shown side by side in the table.
