In tamil Language Pongal means \u201cto boil\u201d and is held in the month of Thai (January-February). \u2018Ponga\u2019 literally means overflowing .This festival is associated with the tradition of cooking the new rice in pots until they overflow, which is symbolic of abundance and prosperity.<\/p>\n

Pongal celebrations continue from the 13th to 16th of January every year. The festival resonates a period of plenty, peace and happiness. Although the four days of Pongal equally holds prominence for most of the urban people celebrate the second day of Pongal with a great fervor and merriment. Pongal is the only festival of Hindu that follows a solar calendar. The first day of Pongal known as Bhogi, is marked with people cleaning their homes thoroughly of all the trash and unwanted goods which gets accumulated over a year and in the evening, all these unwanted goods are lit in a bonfire. Girls dance around the bonfire, singing songs in praise of the gods, the spring and the harvest.

There is a ritual of tying a turmeric plant around the pot when the rice is boiling.

Irrespective of the fashionable outfits that women flaunt throughout the year, on this festival every South Indian woman prefers to opt for a Pavada Davani over any other outfit.\u00a0This puja also has an interesting ritual where husband and wife dispose off elegant ritual utensils specially used for the puja. The offerings to god mainly includes harvested goods including two sticks of sugar-cane in background and coconut and bananas in the dish.<\/p>\n

The third day, Mattu Pongal, is meant to offer
\nthanks to the cows and buffaloes, as they are used to plough the lands. Mattu Pongal is usually celebrated in the villages. The cows are decorated with multi-colored beads, tinkling bells, sheaves of corn and flower garlands and then they are worshiped. . They are fed with Pongal and taken to the village centers. Jallikattu, a violent taming the bull contest, marks this day. The resounding of their bells attract the villagers as the young men race each other\u2019s cattle. The entire atmosphere becomes festive and full of fun and revelry.Arati is performed on them, so as to ward off the evil eye, Legend has it that once Lord Shiva asked his bull, Basava, to announce to the mortals of the earth that they are supposed to have an oil massage and bath every day and to eat once a month. On the contrary Basava traveled down to earth and announced that everyone should eat daily and have an oil bath once a month. This mistake enraged Shiva who then cursed Basava, banishing him to live on the earth forever. He would have to plough the fields forever and help people produce more food under this curse. Thus the association of this day with cattle.<\/p>\n

The fourth day of Pongal Celebrations is called Kaanum Pongal. In few places this day is also known as Karinaal or Thiruvalluvar Day. It is dedicated to the sun god Freshly cooked food including the typical sweet dish \u2018Sarkarai pongal\u2019 is offered to him.
