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
