My friends from school invited me on Pongal festival at our school. I wear my Indian dress. So let's start with this celebration.
Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by Tamil people at the end of the harvest season.
In Tamil word Pongal means"overflowing" which signifies abundance and prosperity. On the day of Pongal,at the time of sun rise there is a symbolic ritual of boiling fresh milk in a new clay pots and when the milk bolis over and bubbles out of the vassel, people shout "Pongalo Pongal".
That is exactly what happened. Indian students were in few groups. After they prepare Pongal, they do little competition in Kolam (is a form of painting that is drawn by using rice , usually it's on the floor). Also some students performed dances and music. It was very nice becuase they all dressed Indian traditional clothes.
Dear friends thank you for invited me, it was memorable. Pongal is so delicious :)
These are some pictures from Pongal festival :)
