Press Release Body: Festivals are the nodal points at which all the vibrations of
the Universe concentrate in a sound imbued with meaning. Pongal is the most notable
example of such a festival. Every Hindu country has its own variant in which it
expresses its specific identity. The festival of Ganpati in the land of the
Marathas, the festival of Durga in Bengal, and the festival of Onam in Kerala are
examples of these manifestations.

Pongal is the festival of the winter solstice, when the Sun returns to its northern
course; soon the days will begin to lengthen again. Even if today the solstice
actually falls almost a month earlier, around 21 December, the ritual solstice is
still observed on the same date as in the sixth century, perhaps because the Sun\'s
entry into the constellation of Capricorn takes place at the same time as the
harvest of the new rice. The date highlights the relationship between the Sun and
rice, the ritual extends the relationship to man and society. The Sun causes the
rice to emerge from water and become food and life for man. The instruments of this
two-phase transmutation are the oxen which work in the rice-fields and the pot in
which the rice is cooked. The festival brings together these four participants in
the new life: the Sun, rice, the cooking pot, and the ox--as well as a fifth,
village society.

Sankranti is a national festival in India. The word is derived from sat and kranti,
meaning \"good movement.\" The festival takes place when the sun moves from
Dakshanayanam to Uttaryanam.
