DESCRIPTION:

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. On this day, people clean their houses, wear new clothes and exchange gifts. Rituals include chewing on sugar cane and decorate the houses with kolam, which is made using rice paste in different colors.

Pongal is the harvest festival of South India and most notably celebrated in the southern state of Tamilnadu.

PLEASE NOTE:

We use the Indian Civil Calendar, which is the official holiday calendar in India, the largest Hindu nation. 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, as well as the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar, vary widely from one calendar to the next. Use our dates as a baseline. Find out which of the dozens of Hindu calendars is used in the region you live or plan to visit if you are looking to attend or witness a specific observance.
