Pongal has been the premier festival for Tamilians the world over. It is eagerly looked forward by all with great anticipation.
Our Sangam considers celebrating it with great zeal since it provides the members to showcase their talent in one single platform. It also provides the members to interact with each other.
This year we celebrated the Pongal Vizha on January 28th, 2024 at Dnyanjyoti, savitribai Phule Auditorium, Ganj Peth, Pune. The event started with a sumptuous breakfast.
The hall was tastefully decorated with a traditional Kolam at the entrance and poster as a backdrop. KuttuVillakku, Pongal pot, sugarcane and a beautiful Kolam added beauty to the place .
The program began with lighting of the lamp and by singing Tamil Thai Vazhthu.The ladies followed by singing prayer songs, old film songs, Bharatanatyam, kavithai etc.. Kids shook their tiny toes to the accompaniment of latest Tamil film songs.
They further regaled the audience with Kummi thereby upholding our tradition. The MC held the audience in splits with light humour and mimicry. The minds of the members were picked intermittently by quiz questions on Pongal.
Each participant was given a gift in appreciation of the effort put in.
All in all, a great variety of entertainment was provided to cater to the needs of members.
This great entertainment was followed by a sumptuous lunch of sweet pongal, sambar rice,Aviyal, curd rice etc.
On the whole the members enjoyed the day,celebrating Pongal Vizha.
