Why crackers belong to Pongal
It is a daytime, outdoor festival, so crackers sit around the cooking and the visits rather than at the centre. A garland when the pongal pot boils over, and small, bright items in the evenings while the relatives are still in town.
What to buy
Spread it over the days. A garland for the moment the pot overflows, lots of small chakkars, novelties and sparklers for the children over the long weekend, and a couple of flower pots for the last evening. Count matters more than size.

Pongal questions
When is Pongal?
In mid January, on the first day of the Tamil month of Thai, with Bhogi the day before and Mattu Pongal and Kaanum Pongal after it. Check your calendar for the exact days.
Will a January order reach us in time?
Yes. Parcels inside Tamil Nadu take 1 to 3 days, and an order placed in the first week of January arrives with time to spare.
Is it safe to light crackers near the cattle on Mattu Pongal?
Keep them well apart. Animals panic at sharp sounds, so light nothing near the cattle shed and keep sound crackers for another day.
