Pongal crackers at the Sivakasi price
Pongal is the harvest festival and the biggest family holiday of the Tamil year. Bhogi clears out the old, kolams fill the front of every house, the new rice boils over in the pot at sunrise on Thai Pongal, and on Mattu Pongal the cattle are washed, painted and garlanded.
Mid January, over four days from Bhogi to Kaanum Pongal· also called Thai Pongal, Bhogi

Why crackers belong to Pongal
Over four days with the whole family home, crackers fit around the cooking and the visiting: a garland on Bhogi morning, and small, cheerful items in the evenings, especially on Kaanum Pongal when families go out together.
What to buy
Buy for several small evenings, not one big show. Novelties, chakkars and sparklers for the children, one garland for Bhogi, a couple of bigger pieces for the last night. Keep every cracker well away from the cattle on Mattu Pongal.

Pongal questions
When is Pongal?
In mid January, when the Tamil month of Thai begins, with Bhogi the day before and Mattu Pongal and Kaanum Pongal after. The exact day shifts by a day some years, so check your calendar.
Do you deliver in January?
Yes, to every place we list. Allow 1 to 5 days from dispatch and order in the first week of January to be comfortable.
Is it safe to burst crackers near cattle on Mattu Pongal?
No. Animals panic at sudden noise. Keep crackers to the evening, away from where the cattle are tied, and choose quiet items if there are animals nearby.
