Thai Pongal is a four day festival where on the final day people gather with family and friends, eat great food, and do folk dances, to celebrate the harvest. We will be celebrating the final day of the festival, Kaanum Pongal by hosting a potluck and arts showcase of Tamil artists from a variety of disciplines. We will also explore the roots of Pongal, what it looks like for the local diaspora, how you can cultivate a relationship with the land, and the ritual of Pongal by honoring ancient Tamil traditions without religious affiliation.
