Pongal Vizha 2020 @ BIT

As the January chill sets in, the joy of Pongal celebration resounds the air. 

PONGAL – A joyous celebration to express gratitude for a bountiful harvest towards the sun god. Infused with the earthy rhythms of agrarian life, Pongal offers a peek into a rich culture and a way of life that has been celebrated in Southern India for centuries.

Tamil Nadu seems to take Pongal as its signature festival. The four days long Pongal festival is celebrated in  January (Thai) every year as a thanksgiving to Sun God.
