Come celebrate ‘Pongal’, a traditional festival that brings hearts together, from India to the heart of Stains. This festival expresses gratitude towards nature, the earth and the forces that enable humans to live.
Pongal is a major traditional festival in Tamil Nadu, celebrated every year in January. It marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of a new agricultural cycle.
The term Pongal means ‘to overflow’ in Tamil, symbolising abundance and prosperity. It corresponds to an important period in the Indian agricultural calendar.
For nearly 20 years, Pongal has also been celebrated in France thanks to the Silambu Asso association.
This association works to promote Tamil culture and traditions.
This year, the Pongal festival will take place in Stains, in the Paris region, where many Tamil families and their friends will gather to perpetuate these ancestral customs
