Aadi Velli Delight – Sweet Pongal
Hy Friends,
Today is Aadi Velli. An auspicious day to get darshan and offer pooja to Sakthi Goddess. Aadi Festival is celebrated for the birth of the Tamil month Aadi ( July – August ).
All the Fridays of this month are considered very auspicious.
In this day, we will prepare sweets as offering to the goddess. Special mention to be made of Sweet Pongal / Chakrai Pongal, which is prepared with dhal and jaggery sweet.
Also, we will make a Thambulam with Betal leaves, turmeric, kumkum, betalnut, flowers and coconut. And offer this to women, who we meet to get their blessings and good wishes...!!!
