Panguni Thiruvila

Madurai - Pothulupatti

Ayavuthevar got 90 years old and his wife 80 years. They have seen this traditional Panguni Festival for years. The whole village of Pothulupatti was really in a festival mood, everybody inviting to share their meal prepared with the blessed slaughtered goat.

Panguni is the last Tamil month of the year, from 14 April Chiterai starts, the Tamil Newyear.

Let's celebrate ... Panguni Pongal Vaalthikkal as they say here.
