About Pongal
Pongal is the four-day harvest festival of Tamil Nadu, also celebrated by Tamil communities around the world. It marks the start of the Tamil month of Thai and is a thanksgiving for the harvest, the sun and the farm animals that help bring it in.
The first day, Bhogi, is for clearing out old things, and many families light a bonfire at dawn. The main day, Thai Pongal, is when fresh rice is cooked with milk and jaggery in a new clay pot, often with a turmeric plant tied around its neck. As it boils over, people call out Pongalo Pongal. Homes are decorated with kolam and sugarcane. Mattu Pongal honours cattle, which are washed, decorated and fed, and Kaanum Pongal is a day for visiting relatives and going on outings.
Pongal falls in the same season as Makar Sankranti, Lohri, Uttarayan and Magh Bihu elsewhere in India.
Tips for sending your wishes
- Send your wish early on Thai Pongal morning, before families gather around the pot and phones get put away.
- For Tamil friends, closing with the greeting Iniya Pongal Nalvazhthukkal shows you made the effort.
- A short wish with a sugarcane or kolam detail works best as a WhatsApp status during the four days.
