Thai Pongal is a vibrant Tamil harvest festival celebrated with gratitude and joy. Families come together to cook the traditional ‘Pongal’ dish, offer prayers and decorate their homes with kolam (rice flour art). The festival marks the beginning of the sun’s six month long journey northwards (Uttarayanam), symbolizing prosperity and abundance.
