About The Event
Pongal, a vibrant and joyous harvest festival celebrated in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, is a time of gratitude and abundance. Typically observed in mid-January, Pongal marks the end of the winter solstice and the beginning of the sun’s journey north. The festival spans four days, with each day holding special significance. The highlight is the preparation of the Pongal dish, a sweet rice pudding cooked with freshly harvested rice, jaggery, and an assortment of nuts.
