When Pongal puja is performed in 2026, and why the timing window matters. We explain the basis for the timings and tell you where to check your local muhurat rather than publishing a number we cannot verify.

The window, the reason it is that window, and an honest answer about what we will not publish.
Pongal follows Thai 1 to Thai 4 in the Tamil solar calendar, from 14 or 15 January. The ritual window is set by the tithi and by the position of the moon relative to the lagna for your location — which is why the same festival has a slightly different puja window in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai even though the civil date is the same.
Because of that, we do not publish city-by-city muhurat minutes. Getting a muhurat wrong is a genuinely harmful error — people plan their day, their travel and their leave around it — and we cannot verify every city against a reliable panchang. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than telling you where to look.
For the exact window in your city, check a location-specific panchang or your family’s usual almanac. What we can tell you reliably is the date, the day of the week, whether it is a multi-day observance, and where the date itself differs between regions — all of which is below.

Pongal 2026
Thai Pongal, the main day, falls on 14 January 2026, with the four days running 13–16 January: Bhogi, Thai Pongal, Mattu Pongal and Kaanum Pongal.
The boiling over of the pot is the central auspicious sign of abundance. The ritual is deliberately about overflow, and families watch for it and shout 'Pongalo Pongal' when it happens.
The third day of Pongal, dedicated to cattle. The animals are bathed, decorated with turmeric, kumkum, painted horns and bells, and fed pongal before the family eats.
The eve of Pongal, when old and unwanted household items are burned in a bonfire — a ritual discarding of the past before the harvest festival begins.
