The word pongal comes from Tamil literature and means “to boil.” It is a traditional South Indian event, especially among Tamils. It is a harvest festival observed in Tamil Nadu for four days during the solar equinox in the months of January-February (Thai) after harvesting crops like rice, sugarcane, turmeric, and other crops. The first day is known as the Bhogi festival; the second day is known as Thai Pongal; the third day is known as Mattu Pongal; and the fourth day is known as Kaanum Pongal. As we all know, India is a farming country, and the majority of its festivities are centred on nature. The Pongal is known as Uttarayan Punyakalam, which has unique significance in Hindu mythology and is considered exceedingly fortunate, just like another holiday.
