SAKKARAI PONGAL


      Pongal is celebreated in South India on every year from January 14th to January 17th  (By the Tamil People).  For sucessful harvest people offers sakkarai pongal to Sun God to convey their thanks.  On pongal day people join together with their friends and family and prepare pongal shares with everyone.
