significance of the Thai Pongal is to give thanks to the
nature’s spirit, farmers, farm animals and the Sun for the successful harvest.

harvest season, draws near. As the festival of Pongal is here,
hoping it ushers in good days, that are filled with happiness
and cheer, and the
fervor it symbolizes, stays with you
throughout the year. With best wishes.
