Thai Pongal- Thanks giving festival of Tamils
Friday, 12 January 2007 - 3:44 PM SL Time |  | |
Meaning of Thai Pongal
This is a harvest festival - the Tamil equivalent of Thanksgiving. It is held to honor the Sun, for a bountiful harvest. Families gather to rejoice and share their joy and their harvests with others. The Sun is offered a `Pongal` of rice and milk.
Happy Pongal to all Tamil Members of LNP :))))
Thai piranthaal Vali pirakkum :):)
