Pongal is a popular harvest festival celebrated in the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India. It is usually held in the month of January and marks the beginning of the Tamil month of Thai. The word "Pongal" in Tamil means "overflowing," signifying abundance and prosperity. The festival is named after the dish called "Pongal," a sweet rice and lentil dish cooked in a new clay pot as an offering to the Sun God. The dish is made using freshly harvested rice, jaggery (unrefined sugar), and milk. The program was conducted on 12th January 2022. That was a memorable day.
