Pongal or Thai Pongal is a major festival of South India and is celebrated annually in the month of January. At SOA CIET, we have a grand celebration for Pongal every year. Students decide upon various themes annually and create a typical rural atmosphere inside the campus; by gathering cooking pots on open wood-burning, sugarcane and arousing the sound of ululation (kulavai sattham) with the essence of Tamil tradition. Students and faculties assemble at the outdoors to witness these joyous moments.
