Gratitude towards nature should not be limited to words.
PM Modi attended the Pongal festival organized at the residence of Union Minister of State L. Murugan. Modi said that Pongal has now become a global festival and Tamil culture is a shared heritage of all of India. PM Modi stated that Pongal teaches people that gratitude towards nature should not be limited to words, but should be made a part of our daily lives.
Last year too, on the occasion of Makar Sankranti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had fed cows at his residence. Makar Sankranti is celebrated when the sun enters the Capricorn constellation during the month of Paush. It is believed that on this day, Lord Surya (Sun God) visits his son, Lord Shani (Saturn).
