Some one please explain yhm pongal...being a tamilian i don't understand their pongal celebration.. 😕 pongal is basically a farmers festival, farmers thank surya baghwan for a good harvest for the entire year ..pongal is a tamil festival but here most.of the women are in kerala mundu (white gold saree) 😆 they don't know the difference of Tamil and Malayalam costume 😆 they are playing nadaswaram in pongal 😆 i never saw that before it looks like somebody's wedding is going on..and also an iyer is cooking pongal in the center of the hall 😆 it looks like more of MASALA PONGAL than thai pongal 😆 and Ashok added comedy flavour to it 😆

Many posts have talked about CVs creative license when it comes to Tamilian Iyer festivals. First of all married women don't wear white. It looks like they were celebrating Onam more than Pongal. They are mixing some Iyer traditions with generic Tamilian culture. The nadhaswaram last year too cracked me up😆. They don't even have nadhaswaram for engagements so seeing it at Pongal was funny.

Wonder if they will show the Iyer women doing "kanu" the day after pongal. Btw, lohri is same day as bhogi but here Pongal and Lohri are celebrated at night.
Pongal is a festival of praying to the Sun God and giving thanks for a good harvest of rice and sugarcane. So it's done during the day. Like you pointed out here pongal is being made at 6 pm.🤔 Iyer-Brahmins are sticklers for doing things at the right time.

Vishwa buying gold chain for Pongal? Seriously? If any jewelry is gifted after marriage it's during the first Diwali for a married couple not for pongal. CVs taking so much creative license that even Iyers can't recognize their customs.😛😆

Men wearing veshti and vibudhi is acceptable and done but not women wearing Onam style sarees.😛 Vandu always stays true to tradition but Madhu is coming up with her own trends.😉

CV's must learn or know about the rituals properly before portraying it in the screen . The costumes can be given off that tamil iyers whose ancestors from pal ghar will wear that. We can assume it and leave of it. But the putting rice and grains in the pot it was hilarious. Regarding the music to give sound effects the had taken nadaswaram and tabla. After watching it i may forget how to celebrate pongal. The three sugar cane placed around the pongal pot gives the memory of akbar viral story which i studied in moral science in my childhood days

The Pongal making and pooja during the night was really hilarious
Pongal pooja and even Bhogi is in the morning...early morning!
when they said 6, I first thought its morning 6 and its a blooper that Mrs Iyer said that they have to come today for pooja! lol
