14 January marks the special day of Pongal celebrated as the traditional harvest festival of the Tamil community in Malaysia and around the world.
It takes place on the 10th month of the Tamil calendar or in the month of January every year, and is celebrated as a thanksgiving ceremony marking the end of the winter solstice as well as to commemorate a bountiful harvest season.
The festival gets its name from the customary ceremonial delicacy “pongal”, a traditional rice dish specially prepared and served during the celebrations.
