Mid-January is an important time in the Tamil calendar. The harvest festival, Pongal, falls typically on the 14th or the 15th of January and is the quintessential 'Tamil Festival'. Pongal is a harvest festival, a traditional occasion for giving thanks to nature, for celebrating the life cycles that give us grain. Tamilians say 'Thai pirandhaal vazhi pirakkum', and believe that knotty family problems will be solved with the advent of the Tamil month Thai that begins on Pongal day.

The First Day

This first day is celebrated as Bhogi festival in honor of Lord Indra, the supreme ruler of clouds that give rains. Homage is paid to Lord Indra for the abundance of harvest, thereby bringing plenty and prosperity to the land.

The Second Day

Pongal FestivalOn the second day of Pongal, the puja or act of ceremonial worship is performed when rice is boiled in milk outdoors in a earthenware pot and is then symbolically offered to the sun-god along with other oblations.

The Third Day

The third day is known as Mattu Pongal, the day of Pongal for cows. Multi-colored beads, tinkling bells, sheaves of corn and flower garlands are tied around the neck of the cattle and then are worshiped. They are fed with Pongal and taken to the village centers. The resounding of their bells attract the villagers as the young men race each other's cattle.

The Fourth Day

The Fourth day is known as Knau or Kannum Pongal day. On this day, a turmeric leaf is washed and is then placed on the ground. On this leaf are placed, the left overs of sweet Pongal and Venn Pongal, ordinary rice as well as rice colored red and yellow, betel leaves, betel nuts, two pieces of sugarcane, turmeric leaves, and plantains.

Photo Walk and Contest [RECAP]

I just had an amazing experience in DURGA PUJA in this year. Every year I went my birthplace Rajshahi for celebrating Durga Puja.

Durga Puja is the biggest religious festival of Bengali Hindus. This time I was at capital Dhaka. I visited lots of places this time in and around the Dhaka.

 

In the occasion of the Durga Puja, we announced a Photo Walk and a Contest based on the captured photo for Photo Walk. We got many responses for the contest. Also, we got some amazing photos from participants. Here I am sharing some of the photos and the album link from the Photo Walk and the Contest.

For this festival, people are making some temporary stages for Puja. I got some photos of mindblowing lighting around the city.
