| Sumario: | The Pongal festival in Tamilnadu is the celebration which yet preserves one of the richest traditions of mankind from the remote past. It is a day of thanksgiving to the Supreme Benevolent Power which is beyond all humankind.

But to the villagers today, it ismore meaningful and productive of deep rooted joy. |
