Many harvest festivals are celebrated in January; a very prominent one among them is Pongal, the first big Hindu festival in the New Year. It is celebrated over four days, and in 2023, it will be celebrated from January 13 to January 17. It starts with Bhogi Festival on January 13, followed by Thai Pongal on January 15, and Mattu Pongal and Kaanum Pongal on 16 and 17, respectively. Families gather during this time and prepare a sweet and salty variation of Pongal. As you prepare to celebrate Pongal 2023, share these wishes and greetings.1
