Thai Pongal is an annual harvest festival, the Tamil equivalent of Thanks Giving, held to honour the sun, for a bountiful harvest. The sun is offered a “Pongal” of rice & milk. Families and friends gather to rejoice and share their harvest with others. It is celebrated in mid January by over 70 million Tamil people across South India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore & afar.
