Pongal


Me, Vikashni, Dr Uma, Aparna and Kim at a Pongal celebration, which celebrates the harvest. Historically in Tamil Nadu, the tradition is to paint the horns of the cows and let them roam the streets as a way to honor the cow's central role in Indian life. We've seen a few cows with painted horns but no stampede yet...
