Happy Tamil New Year 2024

Ponggal, the Tamil New Year, is a time for celebration and reflection. It is a time to come together with family and friends, to enjoy traditional foods, and to give thanks for the past year. It is also a time to look ahead to the future and to set new goals.

This year, Ponggal falls on January 14th. The festivities will begin on the eve of Ponggal, with the lighting of the bhogi fire. The bhogi fire is a symbol of the old year, and it is burned to rid ourselves of the negative energies of the past.

On the morning of Ponggal, families will gather to cook a special dish called pongal. Ponggal is a sweet rice dish that is made with milk, sugar, and ghee. It is a symbol of prosperity and abundance.

After cooking pongal, families will gather to eat and to exchange gifts. They will also visit with friends and relatives, and they will enjoy traditional Ponggal games.

Ponggal is a time for joy and celebration. It is a time to come together with loved ones and to give thanks for the past year. It is also a time to look ahead to the future and to set new goals.

On this Ponggal, I wish you all happiness, prosperity, and success. May this be a year filled with joy, love, and laughter.
