As per SuryaSiddhanta (J-Hora) MakaraSankramana (Transit of Sun-Makara Rasi) is taking place on 15th Jan. 23 @ 02.27 hrs. According 2 DharmaShastra 40 Ghatis (16 hrs) from D time of transit is considered Uttarayana ParvaKala ie. upto 18.27 hrs (precisely till Sunset) on 15th Jan+
Since transit is taking place after Sunset on 14th, DharmaAcharana cannot be made on 14th, hence it should be, from start of Sunrise on 15th.

If transit occurs after Sunset; 5 Ghatis’ (2 hrs) duration on the next day (15th) after Sunrise is considered Atyanta ParvaPunyaKaala. +
