Google Logos Collection

Balachandar, a google fan from India Designed this google logo for the festival Pongal.

Pongal is an Indian festival to give thanks for the harvest. Pongal in Tamil means ‘boiling over’. It is traditionally celebrated at the time of harvest of crops and hence is a celebration of the prosperity associated with the event.

Wikipedia says…

Pongal is celebrated by all people in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. While Pongal is predominantly a Tamil festival, the same period also marks similar festivals celebrated in several other places under different names. In Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, the harvest festival Sankranthi is celebrated. In northern India, it is called Makar Sankranti. In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is the date of the annual kite-flying day, Uttarayan. It also coincides with the bonfire and harvest festival in Punjab and Haryana, known as Lohri.
