During Pongal, shops announce special schemes and discounts.

Shops are filled with people as they indulge in massive shopping for clothes and gifts for their near and dear ones. 

Pongal is celebrated with hearty and keen enjoyment. Gifts are exchanged as a token of good wishes on this occasion.

However, selecting a gift on such an occasion is not an easy task. Don’t worry - we have some ideas for you.

Gold or silver items are classic gifts as they are considered auspicious. A gold ring or chain gifted to a spouse is always acceptable and almost all the jewelers in the city have some offer or the other at this time.
 
Lord Sun Sculptures are very popular gifts during Pongal as the festival is being celebrated in order to mark the sun's journey northwards. So, you can buy sun shapes in metal, clay, porcelain or even in gold, depending on your budget.

Sweet hampers are one of the most popular gifts on any Indian festival as it is said that sweet gifts helps in retaining sweetness in any relationship.

Dry Fruits are also a good option as they are delicious, classy and also have long shelf life. Nowadays, dry fruits come in very trendy packaged hampers which gives very trendy look.

Hope you have a wonderful time, giving and receiving gifts.

HAPPY PONGAL!
