Golden Harvest

Tirunelveli District, TN, India December 2007

 

Every year when the sun sets on a northward journey (winter solstice) South India comes alive for the harvest of the paddy crop. This festival known as Pongal or Sankranti is celebrated by thanking the Sun God.

 

This harvest season, I wish you all a very Happy Pongal and a Very Prosperous Harvest Season.
