Pongal 2026: Wishes, Messages, Whatsapp Status & Images

This four-day-long festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu to welcome the harvesting season. Mid January is an important time in the Tamilian calendar. Pongal typically falls on January 14th or 15th and is a quintessential Tamil festival. Since this period is considered so auspicious that it is also an important month for weddings.

On the first day of the festival it is celebrated as ‘Bhogi festival’. This is in the honor of Lord Indra, the supreme ruler of clouds that give rains. On the second day, a puja is performed by boiling rice in milk. It is then offered to Sun God along with other rituals. Known as Mattu Pongal, the third day of Pongal is for cows. The cattle is decorated by multi-coloured beads, tinkling bells and flower garlands around their neck. The Fourth day is known as Knau or Kannum Pongal day. The rituals on this day are to be performed early in the morning without taking bath. On this day, a turmeric leaf is washed and is then placed on the ground. On this leaf are placed, the left overs of sweet Pongal and Venn Pongal, ordinary rice as well as rice colored red and yellow, betel leaves, betel nuts, two pieces of sugarcane, turmeric leaves, and plantains.

But what is most important while celebrating this festival is wishing your friends and family. So here are few wishes, messages, whatsapp status and images that you can share right away!
