10. Happy Pongal, Lions! The Ace Club is excited to share some insights about Pongal, a vibrant harvest festival celebrated in January by people of Tamil Nadu in South India, and Tamil communities worldwide! Pongal marks the end of the winter solstice and the beginning of the Sun’s northward journey, symbolizing new beginnings, prosperity, and gratitude for nature’s blessings. While Pongal has roots in Hindu traditions, it is also a cultural celebration embraced by people from diverse religious and cultural backgrounds. It’s a time to honor the Sun God, Surya, appreciate the hard work of farmers, and come together as a community to celebrate abundance and hope.
