Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Pongal signals the end of the traditional farming season, giving farmers a break from their monotonous routine. Farmers also perform pooja to some crops, signaling the end of the traditional farming season. It also sets the pace for a series of festivals to follow in a calendar year. 'Boghi' is celebrated on January 13, 'Pongal' on Jan 14, 'Maattuppongal' on Jan 15, and 'Thiruvalluvar Day/Kaanum Pongal' on Jan 16. "May the pot of prosperity boil over May the Pongal that we cook, the fragrance of turmeric the taste of sugarcane, ginger and honey Bring the joy of Pongal into our homes May the blessings of the Sun God flood our lives" Yours George Pillai Http://rudraaksha.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
