It coincides with the festival Makara Sankranthi celebrated throughout India as the winter harvest, and is usually held from January 13–16 in the Gregorian calendar i.e. from the last day of the Tamil month Maargazhi to the third day of Thai.The second of the four days or the first day of month Thai is the main day of the festival which is known as Pongal or Thai Pongal.
