Celebrate the Traditional Festival of Pongal Along With Your Loved Ones

Pongal is the four-day long harvest festival of Tamil Nadu, which falls in the mid of January, every year. During this festival, people express gratitude towards God for the year's harvest and pray for a happy and prosperous year ahead. In Tamil, Pongal means 'boil' and it is also the name of a dish consumed during this festive occasion- the sweetened rice boiled with lentils. One of the most popular festivals of the Tamil Hindus, it is celebrated with great exuberance throughout the state. The first day of Pongal is called Bhogi festival celebrated in the honor of Lord Indra, the God of rain. The ritual of Bhogi Mantalu is observed on this day according to which the useless items of the household are thrown into a bonfire. The second day of the festival is called Thai Pongal when rice and milk are boiled together in an earthen pot to which a turmeric plant is tied as an offering to the Sun God. The young girls also cook rice in an earthen pot on Pongal. On this day, people draw rangoli designs called kolam at the entrances of the house with lime powder early in the morning after the bath. The third day is called Mattu Pongal, which is dedicated to cows. They are worshipped and adorned with new garlands and bells. On the fourth day of Pongal called Kaanum Pongal, a special ritual is performed where the leftover food and sweets are put in the courtyard on a fresh turmeric leaf along with the sugarcane, betel leaves, and betel nuts.

According to the legends, the period during which Pongal is celebrated was the period when devas wake up after a half a yearlong sleep to grant wealth and prosperity on Earth.
