Aeri Pongal

Aeripongal is a lively and meaningful festival organized by KAPMI during the Pongal season, celebrated with great enthusiasm by people of all age groups. The event brings the community together at the lakefront, where the festive atmosphere is enriched with traditional Tamil folk dances, showcasing the region’s rich cultural heritage. Various native sports of Tamil Nadu add excitement to the day, encouraging participation, teamwork, and a spirit of healthy competition. Alongside these activities, numerous fun games are conducted for children and adults alike, making Eripongal an inclusive celebration for families. A major highlight of the festival is the kolam contest, where participants creatively decorate the ground with colourful patterns, reflecting tradition and artistic skill. Prizes are awarded across events to appreciate talent and motivate active involvement. Beyond the cultural festivities, Eripongal carries a deeper purpose: to draw people to the lake and create awareness about the importance of preserving and maintaining this vital water resource. By bringing the community together in a joyful setting, KAPMI encourages everyone to understand their role in protecting the lake, fostering a sense of responsibility and collective care for the environment.
