Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by the Tamil community to thank the Sun, Mother Nature, and the various farm animals that contribute to a bountiful harvest. Celebrated over four days, Pongal also marks the beginning of the Tamil month of Thai, which is considered an auspicious and culturally significant time. Additionally, Pongal refers to the dish made and eaten during this festival, a mixture of boiled sweet rice derived from the Tamil word "Pongu," which means "to boil over."
On the day of the festival, the Tamil community cooks sweet rice outdoors and follows this with cultural events such as Bharatanatyam dance, traditional drumming, and drama. Services and grocery stalls will also be available.
