Happy Pongal 2020: Wishing you a prosperous future and a Happy Pongal!
Pongal celebration is spread across four days and each day has its own significance. This year, Pongal is being celebrated from January 14 to January 18. The first day of the festival is known as "Bhogi" and is dedicated to Indra, the god of rain. On this holy day, people throw old and neglected things and concentrate on new things. At dawn, people light a bonfire with logs of wood, other solid-fuels and wooden furniture at home that are no longer useful. The second day of Pongal is known as ''Thai Pongal'' which celebrates the Sun God. On this day, people have a morning bath and draw rangolis and kolams. This is followed by preparing special dishes to offer to the Sun. Other things which are used as an offering include sugarcane sticks, bananas and coconuts.
The third day of Pongal is known as the ''Mattu Pongal''. On this day, cows are decorated with garlands and bells and are worshipped. This day is celebrated to thank the farm animals for their help in the production of crops. The last day of Pongal is the “Kaanum” (or Kanu) Pongal. On this day, the leftover Pongal dish along with betel nuts, betel leaves and sugarcane are kept in the open on a turmeric leaf. Women perform this special ritual for the prosperity of their brothers. From surviving the cold winters to moving towards the livelier season of spring, harvest festivals like Lohri, Bihu, Pongal are celebrated in various parts of India. From eating special food to celebrating it all night with dance and bonfire the festival not only marks the beginning of an auspicious year but also brings the family together.
