Thai Pongal is a harvest festival event celebrated by Tamils across the world. Pongal coincides with the festival Makara Sankranthi celebrated in various other parts of India. Pongal in Tamil means boiling over or spill over. The act of boiling over of milk in the clay pot is considered to denote future wishes for the family. Traditionally celebrated at harvest time, its a celebration of the prosperity associated with the harvest by thanking the sun god, rain and the farm animals that have helped in the harvest.
