About Pongal

Pongal is a vibrant harvest festival celebrated predominantly in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu. It's a time for joy, family gatherings, and giving thanks to nature for a bountiful harvest. The festival is observed for four days, each with its unique traditions and activities.

Pongal is named after a dish made of newly harvested rice, milk, and jaggery, which is ceremoniously prepared during the festival.
