Pongal is celebrated when the fields are blooming. The festival is thus a celebration of prosperity and a good harvest, especially for the farming community. During the Pongal celebrations, farmers express their gratitude to Sun God and the cattle and thank them for a good harvest.

The festival of Pongal is celebrated as Makar Sankranti in central India and Bhugali Bihu in Assam while people in West Bengal, celebrate the last day of Bengali month Paush on January 14. Here, thousands of devotees take bath in Gangasagar, the point where the holy river Ganga meets the sea, to wash away all the earthly sins.
