Pongal(in Tamil) is an Indian festival to give thanks for the harvest. Pongal in Tamil means ’boiling over’. It is traditionally celebrated at the time of harvest of crops and hence is a celebration of the prosperity associated with the event. Pongal is celebrated by all people in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. While Pongal is predominantly a Tamil festival, the same period also marks similar festivals celebrated in several other places under different names. In Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the harvest festival Sankranthi is celebrated. In northern India, it is called Makar Sankranti. In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is the date of the annual kite-flying day, Uttarayan. It also coincides with the harvest festival in Punjab and Haryana, known as Lohri.

Le Pongal - littéralement bouilli par-dessus en tamoul - aussi appelé Makar Sankranti dans d'autres endroits de l'Inde est une fête des moissons et d'actions de grâce, mais aussi propitiatoire de l'Inde. Le Pongal est historiquement une fête séculière indépendante de l'hindouisme, ce qui pourrait indiquer une origine très ancienne. Principalement célébré en Inde du Sud, particulièrement au Tamil Nadu, en Andhra Pradesh et au Karnataka, il l'est aussi à Singapour et en Malaisie où il existe des communautés tamoules. Malgré cette prépondérance de l'Inde du Sud, on reconnaît cette fête dans d'autres parties de l'Inde, dans le Nord par exemple où elle porte le nom de Makar Sankranti. Au Maharashtra et dans le Goujerat, elle prend la forme d'un concours de cerf-volant. Au Panjâb et en Haryana elle est célébrée sous le nom de Lohri.
