About this experience

What makes a Sankranti & Pongal land at work?

Makar Sankranti is the one Indian festival fixed to the sun rather than the moon: mid-January, when it turns north into Makara and the harvest is in. In Karnataka that means ellu-bella — sesame, jaggery, coconut and groundnut exchanged with "ellu bella thindu olle maathadi" — sugarcane, decorated cattle and kites over the terrace. Your Tamil colleagues are keeping the same day as Thai Pongal: the pot set to boil over as the sun rises, a fresh kolam at the door, Mattu Pongal for the cattle the day after. One sun, two languages of celebration — we run them as a single morning so nobody has to pick.

Frequently asked questions

Can pongal be cooked live at the office?
Where the venue permits an open cooking setup, yes — it's the highlight. Otherwise we serve freshly-prepared pongal from the regional-cuisine service.
How is this different from Ugadi?
Completely. Sankranti and Pongal are the January HARVEST festival, fixed to the sun. Ugadi is the Kannada and Telugu NEW YEAR in March or April, set by the moon. They are separate celebrations with separate pages here.
Is this only for Tamil employees?
It celebrates a Tamil festival but is enjoyed across teams — the live cooking and feast have broad appeal.
Lead time for authentic regional catering?
6+ days — regional caterers need ingredient sourcing time.
