Children and staff celebrated Pongal on 14 January 2025, also referred to as Thai Pongal, a multi-day Hindu harvest festival celebrated by Tamils worldwide.
Children, dressed in their finery, drew a ‘kolam’ on the ground where the Pongal pots were placed. The area was further adorned with sugar cane and traditional decorations. At the auspicious time, milk was boiled in pots, and rice was added to make Pongal (sweet rice). Traditional games were played, folk songs were sung, and dances were performed. It was a day filled with teamwork, joy, and laughter for both the children and staff.
Beyond being a harvest festival Pongal represents a new beginning, both personally and socially. It is considered an ideal time to start fresh, set goals for the year, and make new resolutions just as farmers sow seeds for the new harvest. Pongal for Everyone- Although it is primarily a Tamil festival people from different regions of India and even from other cultures also join in the celebrations, contributing to the communal and inclusive nature of the event

in the International circles today, and this is indeed a very sad

Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated by the Tamil community. It is a celebration to thank the Sun, Mother Nature and the various farm animals that help to contribute to a bountiful harvest. Celebrated over four days, Pongal also marks the beginning of the Tamil month called Thai, which is considered an auspicious month. It usually falls on the 14th or 15th of January each year.
Pongal is also the name of the dish made and eaten during this festival. It is a mixture of boiled sweet rice. It is derived from the Tamil word pongu, which means “to boil over”.
