The halls and reception were adorned with flowers and thoranam, sugarcane stacked to grace the occasion. The day started off with Pongal preperation. Students gracefully danced for a Kummiadi Song around the Pongal pot. An earthen pot was placed on fire with traditional fanfare. When the milk starts boiling and over flows teachers and students shout "pongalo-pongal" The chanting of Pongalo! Pongal! Pongalo! Pongal was exciting for the children. Sweet Pongal was made and were shared to all students and children.
