Pongal is proof that boiling over can be a celebration, not a mistake.

May this festival bring warmth, family and good fortune.

आपके आंगन में कोलम की हर रेखा सौभाग्य खींचती रहे।

May the kolam at your doorstep welcome only good things this year.

Sun, soil, and family — Pongal thanks all three in one meal.
