Poṅkal, aka Pongal, is symbolized as a multi-day harvest ceremony celebrated in the Southern parts of India. An auspicious festival for the Tamil community, the Tai period is committed to the Lord Surya, which aligns with Makar Sankranti and other harvest geographical titles seen in India. It is celebrated with happiness, love, and joy. People on this day wear traditional ethnic clothes.
As per the old folklore, Pongal represents the summing up of the winter solstice, the onset of the Surya’s 6 months long trip northwards, known as the Uttaraayan, where the sun enters the Makar, aka the Capricorn sign. “Pongal” signifies “overflow or to boil,” which is made from the fresh and first rice harvest cooked in jaggery and milk.
