Pongal is a well-known South Indian holiday. It is traditionally celebrated over four days during the blessed month of Thai .
While agricultural life is not so common here, local Tamils continue to give thanks to the Sun, elements, and deities who give life.As with tradition, a new clay pot is filled with milk and freshly cooked rice. As it cooks, turmeric, brown sugar, raisins, cashew nuts, ginger, and ghee are added. Pongal means to ‘overflow’, hence the pot of rice has to bubble over to symbolise prosperity and abundance. This is then served to members of the family as well as any visitors to the house.Traditionally, people also tie a turmeric plant around the clay pot in which they boil the rice.
To remember the work they do, like ploughing the fields and providing milk, the cattle are scrubbed and their horns painted. Men are also asked to be present during the ritual when the sisters place the rice in the center of the leaf and perform the worship for them using turmeric water, limestone, and rice.
