Significance of the Pongal Festival

Pongal is a traditional harvest festival that is celebrated primarily in Tamil Nadu and by other Tamil communities in India and across the world.

The highlight of this colorful four-day festival is cooking ‘Pongal’, which is a dish made of jaggery, milk, and freshly harvested rice. 

The milk is allowed to boil over as a symbol of abundance. Each day of Pongal has its significance. 

There is Bhogi, which is the day that symbolizes discarding the old and bringing the new. 

There’s Thai Pongal, which is the main festival dedicated to the Sun God.

There’s Mattu Pongal, a tribute to cattle who are the backbone of agriculture.

And Kaanum Pongal, a day to reunite with family and offer thanks.

Kolams adorn houses during Pongal, welcoming prosperity and positive energy.  It’s a festival in which tradition embraces modern Tamil culture.
