Questions

When is Uttarayan?

Uttarayan is observed on Sun enters Makar (Capricorn); exact Gregorian dates are computed each year from the panchang and listed on this page.

Where is Uttarayan celebrated?

Gujarat.

Why can the date of Uttarayan differ between calendars?

Hindu festival dates follow the tithi, nakshatra or solar ingress at a place, so they can shift by a day between cities, and between amanta and purnimanta calendars. Dates here are for New Delhi sunrise with Lahiri ayanamsha.
