Malaysians are a diverse lot with diverse celebrations from diverse communities happening throughout the year. 14Jan – is a special day for the Indian Community of Hindu faith as they celebrated the Ponggal Festival- where the ritual of boiling rice with milk and allowing to milk to overflow intentionally, signifying an overflow of abundance.  Joining me on this episode is Narmatha, who will share with us on what Ponggal is about and how it's being celebrated in Malaysia. In the conversation, I discovered that some of the significance behind the rituals, holds so much similarity with the Chinese community. And I believe, that as I go deeper into different communities, we would perhaps be directed into the same channel of being in touch with nature. 

If you would like to continue the conversations further, you are most welcome to hop on to my Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/dosesofmalaysianstories or alternatively you could send a personal mail to dosesofmalaysianstories@ gmail.com .
