Pongal Celebrations In Sri Lanka
A Hindu devotee is taking a rest during the Pongal festival in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on January 15, 2024. Pongal, the vibrant Hindu harvest festival, is extending its joy beyond India to Sri Lanka. Celebrated with fervour, it is uniting the Tamil communities in both countries. In Sri Lanka, cities like Jaffna and Trincomalee are witnessing lively festivities as families come together to express gratitude for nature's bounty. Pongal is transcending religious and ethnic boundaries, fostering communal harmony. Beyond its cultural significance, the festival is serving as a reminder of the interconnectedness of agrarian communities, emphasising the importance of sustainable farming practices. In essence, Pongal is a celebration that is weaving a rich tapestry of cultural exchange and shared joy across borders. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
