I extend my heartiest greetings to the people of Andaman & Nicobar Islands on the auspicious occasion of Pongal and wish them happiness, prosperity and success in all endeavours.
Pongal festival is celebrated in the Tamil Month of ‘Thai’, to thank the Sun God, Mother Nature, and the Cattle for the bountiful harvest. This festival marks an important occasion in the lives of Tamil people.
The gaiety and fervor associated with this festival reflects our rich cultural tradition and is also an occasion to rejoice with family members to promote the spirit of peace and benevolence among people.
May this Pongal bind each one of us in fraternal love and amity.
Regards,
TSG Bhasker
