Pongal is a Hindu festival marking the beginning of the end of winter and corresponds to the time when the sun is moving towards Uttarayanam (north) from Dakshinayanam (south).
Usually, Pongal is celebrated on or near the 14th of January. People clean their houses, wear new clothes, and exchange gifts on this day. Rituals include chewing on sugar cane and decorating the homes with kolam, made from rice paste in different colors.

We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
