Happy Pongal
























Hindus start off the brand new year with Pongal, a festival of harvest thanksgiving. The four - day festival which also marks the end of cold winter months and the beginning of spring, sees many visiting temples for prayers and food offerings to the Gods, whilst some boil rice in earthen pots until they boil over ( Pongal means ‘’ boiling over’’ in Tamil ‘’ ) - a symbol of prosperity and bountiful harvest for the year yet to come.

A Very Happy  Pongal to all my Blog readers, Mail Subscribers, Facebook followers, Twitter followers, Google+ followers & Networked blog followers    !!!
