00:21That is only after the Pongal is celebrated.
00:23Before that, the Pongal was celebrated.
00:25When the Pongal was celebrated, the pot was hot.
00:29So, the Pongal was not celebrated.

01:34We do not want to celebrate the Pongal in our village.
01:38Have you accepted the people?
01:40No, we have not accepted the people.
01:42It has been four or five generations.
01:44Before the Pongal, there was a temple.
01:46Since then, we have not celebrated the Pongal.
01:48The Pongal is celebrated in Tamil Nadu.
01:50Yes.
01:52It is a tradition to keep the Pongal in front of the house.
01:54Have you followed the tradition?
01:56No, we have not.
01:58We keep the Pongal in front of the house.
02:02How many generations have you been celebrating the Pongal?
02:04Six generations.
02:06How long have you been celebrating the Pongal?
02:08I have not celebrated the Pongal since I was born.
02:10Do you celebrate the Pongal with your wife?
02:12Yes, I do.
02:18Do your children ask you to celebrate the Pongal?
02:20Do your children ask you to celebrate the Pongal?
02:22Yes, they do.
02:24We do not keep the Pongal in front of the house.
02:26It has been five or six generations.
02:32Have you celebrated the Pongal?
02:34No, we have not.
02:38I am from Kerala.
02:40My name is Ponnuthurai.
02:42We have been celebrating the Pongal every year.
02:44We have been celebrating the Pongal until now.
02:46Pongal has not been celebrated in our village since 100 years.
02:50In our village, pongal was Merry takes place with the front of the house.
02:52The reason for this is that during the time of Periyar,
02:55when we used to make Pongal in our home, the Pongal used to rise in one house.
02:58That is because, before Thiruvalluvar,
03:00the Pongal pot used to be placed in front of the temple,
03:02and the Pongal used to rise like that.
03:04So, hereafter, when we make Pongal,
03:06it will rise like this.
03:08No one should break the Pongal.
03:10Now, this has been going on for more than 100 years.
03:13Even before our Vyvaranchalaya,
03:15they didn't break the Pongal.
03:17That's why, Pongal hasn't been broken in our house for a long time.
03:21But, during the time of Thiruvalluvar,
03:23in all the nearby temples,
03:25they used to make Payasam,
03:27they used to make Pongal,
03:29they used to make good Pongal Pongal,
03:31they used to make Kada Pongal,
03:33everything used to be done well.
03:35In Thaimasa, they used to make Pongal,
03:37and they used to say that the Pongal used to rise.
03:39Like Pongi, Pongi, Ponganam,
03:41without Pongal, it will rise.
03:43That's why,
03:45if it rises,
03:47the people,
03:50they have changed it.
03:52That's why,
03:54we shouldn't do it anymore.
03:56This is the power of God.
03:58This is the power of God.
04:00This is the power of God.
04:02This is the power of God.
04:04This is the power of God.
04:06Even now,
04:08during the time of Periyar,
04:10they say that we shouldn't break the Pongal anymore.
04:12Now, for 100 years,
04:14no one has broken the Pongal.
04:16Now, for 100 years, no one has broken the Pongal.
04:18If we say here,
04:20the Periyars will say that
04:22we shouldn't do it anymore.
04:24They will say ok.
04:26That's why,
04:28in our village,
04:30no one has broken the Pongal.
04:32How many years has it been since you broke the Pongal?
04:34I got married 26 years ago.
04:36We didn't celebrate it.
04:38They used to bring Pongal from our house.
04:40We celebrate it every year.
04:42We don't break the Pongal at home.
04:44We don't break the Pongal outside.
04:47We eat the Pongal inside the house.
04:49Will you keep it open?
04:51Yes, we will keep it open.
04:53Now, my son and two daughters are married.
04:55They have children.
04:57Now, if they bring the Pongal,
04:59we will tell them.
05:01No one will keep the Pongal outside.
05:03No one will break the Pongal.
05:05We will keep it open.
05:07We will keep it open.
05:09This is what our ancestors said 100 years ago.
05:11This is what our ancestors said 100 years ago.
05:13This is what our ancestors said 100 years ago.
05:16Will you celebrate Pongal tomorrow?
05:18Will you celebrate Pongal tomorrow?
05:20We don't have Pongal and Payasam at home.
05:22You don't celebrate Pongal?
05:24What is the reason?
05:26I don't know.
05:28It's been a long time.
05:30How many years has it been since you came to this village?
05:32How many years has it been since you came to this village?
05:34It's been 50-60 years.
05:36It's been 50-60 years.
05:38Have you celebrated Pongal once?
05:40Have you celebrated Pongal once?
05:42We don't celebrate Pongal.
05:45Have you celebrated in your native place?
05:47Yes, in Kattayalpatti, my native place.
05:49Pongal and Payasam at home.
05:51Have you celebrated in your native place?
05:53Yes, we have.
05:55Only in mothers mansion, we celebrate Pongal.
05:57Only in mothers mansion, we celebrate Pongal.
05:59Have you asked your husband, why?
06:01They can't celebrate Pongal.
06:03They can't celebrate Pongal.
06:05They can't celebrate Pongal.
06:07We have celebrated Pongal at every place.
06:09We have celebrated Pongal at every place.
06:11But in our village, it's been 10 years since I got married.
06:13Now that I'm here, no one celebrates Pongal.
06:16When I ask my family,
06:19about 100 years ago,
06:2480 years ago,
06:26when Pongal was made,
06:28when the Pongal was made in the temple,
06:30the Pongal was said to have boiled.
06:35It's said that it's good for the village if it doesn't boil.
06:39Now that it's boiled,
06:41they have kept it as a tradition,
06:43and no one celebrates Pongal.
06:45But in the future,
06:47I think it's good for everyone to celebrate Pongal.
06:49Let's change a little and think about it.
06:51Not everyone should think about the same thing.
06:53Traditionally,
06:55we should have faith in God.
06:57But instead of having the same faith,
06:59instead of having the same faith,
07:01I think it would be good if everyone
07:03gave a little confidence and celebrated Pongal.
07:06These days, kids celebrate Pongal.
07:08Yes, kids these days.
07:10Because of Pongal festival,
07:12it's a big deal to have Pongal in front of the house.
07:17But everyone is struggling.
07:19That's why they are struggling.
07:21Everyone can celebrate Pongal in front of the house.
07:24It's a joy for our children.
07:26Instead of celebrating Pongal in front of the house,
07:32we should celebrate Pongal in front of the house.
07:37It would be good.
07:39The children should be happy.
07:41In the future,
07:43we should look at the children's life.
07:45They should be happy.
07:47Let there be faith in God,
07:49but not in superstition.
07:51Everyone should be happy.
07:53Happy Pongal.
07:55Have you set a goal for Pongal in your village?
07:57I will set a goal.
07:59I will set a goal for everyone.
