2. This is the initiation of God Aditya entering Makara Rashi in Magha Maasam.
Christians & Muslims celebrate Magham & Makaram?
3. On this day indicating God Aditya's journey, Hindus draw a Kolam/Muggu in the form of Chariot (Ratham of Aditya) whose face is towards the doors of Hindu Homes.
Muslims & Christians celebrate Kolam/Muggu?
4. On this day cattle is brought home & worshipped. They are decorated and given bathe.
Is Islam iconographic religion?
Do christians use Tilakam & Bottu (vermilion) we use to decorate the bulls & cows?
5. The "Pushan" one of the Adityas is the protector of "cattle" as per Rigveda. he is worshipped on this day.
Does Muslims believe in Rigveda or Christians read Rigveda?
6. The Pushan (Aditya) protector of Cattle was sitting near Yagya of Daksha Prajapati, when angered Shiva due to demise of Shakti destroys things there also hit Pushan, who lost all his teeth.
So Pushan Aditya cannot consume solid food.
So, we after sunrise in the center of Kolam/Muggu keep the milk bowl heat the milk add rice to it & cook smooth called " Paramannam" which will be offered to Pushan, the toothless for protecting the cattle, that helped our agri produce.
Does Christians and Muslims believe in the story of how Shiva broke Pushan's teeth. Why we offer a soft Paramannam to the protector of our cattle?
Are these even tales to them?
Like these there are many reasons why a Pongal cannot be Muslim or Christian festival.
Period.

Projections in the square base of a temple which also run till the top of Shikhara is called a “Ratha” which looks like a face on external part of main temple.
It is named on basis on number faces a temple has. For example the temple in the picture is a “Pancha Ratha” temple.
This 1200 Yrs old Gurjara Pratihara Temple at Batesar complex near Gwalior is a Pancha Ratha Temple which has five faces on each side running till the top.
The five Rathas or faces look like creepers moving up the ladder, so this style of Shikhara is also called “Latina”.
