what is pongal?
- And is it celebrated by all but predominantly by Dravidians, or what?

It should be clearer now. --ashwatha 02:07, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I removed the phrase "Aryans a.k.a. Hindus", because the "Aryan race" in India, while predominantly Hindu, also has Buddhists, Jains and other denominations in it. --ashwatha 08:02, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Kaanum pongal
I am not sure the follwing text in the article about kaanum pongal is correct
- ... youths used to gather at river banks to view and select their future life partners, but that practice has declined.
A few external websites refer to a brother-sister ritual on this day, but none about choosing lifepartners or anything like that. Therefore, I remove the sentence. If this is indeed a fact, please add it back with proper references. ~ srini 05:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
--Pongal seems to be spelled wrong in Tamil on the front page
[edit] Pictures
The picture is very blurred and does not give a clear view. There are many non-copyright pictures at flickr. We could use one of them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 155.69.5.234 (talk)
[edit] Pongal is also a food
As fas as I know, Pongal is also the name of a food item in Andhra Pradesh made from rice and pulses. Probably this should be mentioned in the article. 130.203.202.7 21:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
