A traditional Pongal scene in a rustic South Indian courtyard at dawn, featuring a decorated clay pot of boiling Pongal placed on a small wood-fired stove. Steam rises from the pot as sweet rice overflows, surrounded by turmeric leaves and marigold flowers. A detailed white kolam is drawn at the doorstep, illuminated by early-morning sunlight streaming through a partially open wooden door. Bundles of fresh sugarcane lean against the entrance, casting long shadows across the floor. Inside the dim room, brass vessels, earthen pots, and harvested grains catch soft rays of light. The setting reflects an authentic rural household during Pongal festival preparations.
