Harvest festivals will be celebrated across India when they come. While people in North India commemorate Makar Sankranti, those in South India celebrate Pongal. The literal meaning of Pongal is overflowing or boiling. Not only that, but it is also the name of a dessert. Rice, jaggery, and milk are used to make it. Pongal is a Tamil solar calendar holiday observed at the beginning of the month Tai. It falls on January 15 this year.

Pongal is a four-day holiday celebrated with much pomp and display, particularly in Tamil Nadu, during which people give prayers and appreciation to the Lord Sun for a healthy crop. Pongal marks the start of Uttarayana, the sun's six-month trek northward.
