Thai Pongal is the Tamil Harvest festival held annually for over 5000 years.
On Tuesday January 24th 2022 at 6pm, Sneha/Sun, in collaboration with Greenhouse Theatre will be hosting a Thai Pongal Celebration as part of the The Future is Ritual series
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.
