Tamizhar Thirunal...

Pongal is a Harvest Festival celebrated in Tamilnadu for four days. Each days is celebrated with a purpose.

A single liner to define each day :

Day 1 : Sankarathi - Preparing to invite the new season by removing junks/evil at home.
Day 2 : Pongal - Thanking the Sun God for its brightness during the past season.
Day 3 : Mattu Pongal - Thanking the Cows for their support.
Day 4 : Kanum Pongal - A day to relax after a year of hard-work.

All these days are meant to share the love with relatives, friends and neighbours. People used to spend most of these days in develeoping relationships.

The definition are changing now-a-days. Youngsters are spending most of their Pongal Holidays in watching new releases or TV programmes. What made me happy is that the culture of celebrating Pongal in villages are not changed yet.
