What is Pongal and Why is Pongal Celebrated?
Pongal, celebrated predominantly in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, is a four-day festival marking the harvest season. It is a time of thanksgiving to the Sun God for a fruitful harvest and is steeped in rituals that highlight prosperity and community spirit. Families prepare a special rice dish called Pongal, adorn their homes with kolams (rangoli), and exchange gifts to strengthen bonds. Among these gifts, jewellery holds a special place, symbolising wealth, love, and blessings for the future.
