Pongal celebration with the new 7Up
A new limited-edition holiday 7U pack featuring the wacky, curly-haired mascot Fido Dido has been released. It was launched in time for the auspicious harvest festival of Pongal in Tamil Nadu.
About Pongal
“Pongal” is a Tamil word which means “to boil”. This festival is celebrated as an expression of gratitude for the year’s crop during this festival. Every year, in the middle of January, the Hindu celebration of Pongal coincides with the festival of Lohri.
Pongal is a four-day-long harvest celebration that takes place during the month of Thai (January-February). Thousands of people in the state of Tamil Nadu celebrate Pongal.
This festival marks the end of the winter season and is a holiday to express appreciation for a successful crop. The Pongal celebration is represented in every aspect of the food in Tamil Nadu.
The essence of Pongal can be felt from the elaborate kolam (rangoli) to the usage of sugarcane and pots in the cooking process.
