Vibrant show: Folk dancers performing a lively act during Astro’s Ponggu Tamil event held in conjunction with the fest today.
ABOUT 1,000 people thronged the Balathandayuthabani Hilltop Temple in Waterfall Road, Penang, to watch Astro’s ‘Ponggu Tamil’ event, which was held in conjunction with the Ponggal (Harvesting Festival) today.
The colourful affair also brought ‘alive’ the ancient old Indian folk dance ‘Karagatam’, which involves the balancing of clay or metal pots on the head and ‘Poikkal Kudirai Aattam’ (Horse dancing) where a dummy horse is tied around the waist of the dancer.
