Chennai celebrates many local,
state and national festivals few of them are :-
Pongal:- The festival is celebrated in the month of January for three days.
It is the harvest festival of thanks giving to Sun, Earth and the
Cow. At dawn on this day families
everywhere gather around a new earthen pot. As the pot of milk boils
over, signifying prosperity, a shout of "Pongalo Pongal"
rents the air.
Arubathimoovar
Festival :- Literally, 'Arubathimoovar' refers
to the 63 saints of Shiva canonised for leading exemplary lives of
devotion and penance. Once, every year, the bronze figures of these
63 saints are carried in a colourful procession through the streets
of Mylapore.
