Celebrated on an auspicious day in January every year, Thai Pongal is a festival that engrosses the Hindu community across Sri Lanka. It's an event of paying tribute to the surya, honouring and appreciating the cattle for their imperative role in cultivation and farming, while giving thanks to a fruitful harvest.
Considered as one of the holiest days of the year, Hindu families celebrate this with such devotion and excitement. Every house gets decorated with sugar canes, tender coconut leaf buntings, banana trees, and colourful kolam art; the cows are adorned with garlands on their necks and kumkum on their foreheads; while people are dressed in attires that represent the Hindu traditions and culture.
The Thai Pongal of 2019 is only a few days away. If there's something missing from your festive attire, here are a few places that you can go buy them, without drilling a hole in your wallet.
