Here is a little info about this day and how it is celebrated. i found this info oabout Pongal on the web today: "Pongal is an important festival in India, with prayers to the Sun God on this occasion. Pongal is one of such highly revered festivals celebrated in Tamil Nadu to mark the harvesting of crops by farmers. The house is cleaned, and all maintenance jobs are done before this festival. Held in the middle of January, it is the time when the people get ready to thank God, Earth and their Cattle for the wonderful harvest and celebrate the occasion with joyous festivities and rituals. During the four-day festival, different varieties of Rangoli are drawn in front of the houses early in the morning. In North India, it is known as Sankaranthi." Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Thakur Ramakrishna Deva! muktimaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
