Happy Pongal 2021: Pongal is one of the most auspicious festivals of India, it is celebrated across the country, especially in Tamil Nadu. Like Makaravilakku in Sabarimala, Mattuponkal or Ponkal also known as the Harvest festivals of Tamil Nadu celebrated over four days. This year, Mattuponkal 2021 has been celebrated from January 13 to January 16.
Pongal is dedicated to bulls, in the name 'Mattu' means 'bull' in the Tamil language. Tamil people respect and celebrate the day for cattle, as because they are the major part of the village farming industry. They celebrate the day with their traditional Pongal festival game, known as 'Jallikattu,' which also known as 'Manji Virattu'. The Jallikkattu is held in Madurai, Tiruchirapalli and Tanjavur on the evening of the Mattuponkal day.
According to Society for the Confluence of Festivals in India, On this day, Lord Ganesh and Goddess Parvati are worshipped and Pongal is offered to them in the 'puja'. According to a legend, once Shiva asked his bull, Basava, to go to the earth and ask the mortals to have an oil massage and bath every day and to eat once a month. Inadvertently, Basava announced that everyone should eat daily and have an oil bath once a month. This mistake enraged Shiva who then cursed Basava, banishing him to live on the earth forever. He would have to plough the fields and help people produce more food. Thus the association of this day with cattle.
