It marks the transition of the Sun into Makar Rashi, or the zodiac sign of Capricorn. From this day the Sun begins its 6 month long journey towards the north, also known as Uttarayan. It s considered an auspicious time.

9 Pongal Celebration Family members gather outside their house and cook Pongal in clay pots. Clay pots are painted and decorated with turmeric, flowers and mango leaves. When the rice inside the pot overflows. The people rejoice saying, Pongal o Pongal!,as the overflow of rice symbolizes a prosperous farming for them.

For villagers, the cow, a giver of milk and the bull which ploughs the fields are very valuable and therefore farmers dedicate this day in honor of their cattles. This is a thanksgiving for these two animals. Cattles are washed and their horns are decorate with paint flowers. A bull taming sport called Jallikattu is played on this day. A bull is left to run in an open ground. Young men display their bravery by attempting to jump on the bull and control it. People gather in thousands to watch this sport.
