The Twitter user shared a screenshot of their conversation with their foreigner friend about Pongal.
Pongal is one of the major festivals celebrated in India especially in the states of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. It is a time when people come together to honour Lord Surya Narayan, the ruler of the planets, and celebrate crop harvesting.
