PONGGAL is celebrated by Indians to give thanks for a bountiful harvest and also marks the start of the new year with the first month called ‘Thai’.
Ponggal starts with Bhogi where the house is cleaned. Surya Ponggal, which is today, honours the Sun god and members of the family wear new clothes and boil milk to cook the sweet rice using a new pot.
