THAIPONGAL

Thai Pongal is being celebrated on14th or 15thof January. Every year. It is also called a harvesting festival. The Sun is called the God of nature which gives sunlight and rain to all the living beings.

We cleaned our house and the surroundings. We wear new clothes. We light a hearth in front of our house and place a new pot on it. We will pour cow milk or coconut milk into it. When the milk is boiling our father will put the washed newly harvested rice into it. Then will add jaggery, cadju, plums and dates. After finishing making the sweet milk rice , we will thank the God Sun and share with our neighbors and our relatives with fruits, sugarcane beetle and arecanuts.
