Thai Ponggal Festival

We in Malaysia,celebrate Ponggal festival at home.These festival is done to welcome the month of Thai.

Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by the Tamil community. It is a celebration to thank the Sun, Mother Nature and the various farm animals that help to contribute to a bountiful harvest. Celebrated over four days, Pongal also marks the beginning of the Tamil month called Thai, which is considered an auspicious month. It usually falls on the 14th or 15th of January each year.

Pongal is also the name of the dish made and eaten during this festival. It is a mixture of boiled sweet rice. It is derived from the Tamil word pongu, which means to boil overhttps://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/nimn1H6Z3Bu3

Hi @Arivoo

Kalay Vannakam :pray:

It is really heartening to know that you have kept the traditions of Pongal alive in far away distant lands.

The photos look great.

I’d suggest that you insert them in the main post instead of sharing the album link.

Kindly let me know if you need help with inserting photos in your post.

Regards,
