BUKIT MERTAJAM: Celebrating Ponggal for S. Santhi means showing gratitude to divine powers and nature for the abundance reaped in the year.

“Every year, we celebrate Ponggal without fail as it is part of our culture. We follow the exact auspicious times set in the calendar, which is either early in the morning before sunrise or around 9am to 10am,” said Santhi, 60.
