- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: We invite you to join us for a celebration of the simple joys that unite communities on January 17th—a special South Indian dinner and an opportunity to experience the exotic, fragrant flavors of Indian cuisine as we celebrate Pongal.

The word “Pongal” means “to boil over,” symbolizing abundance and good fortune, and it’s traditionally observed in mid-January as a joyful, multi-day celebration of the harvest season in India—often filled with traditional music, folk dances, games, and community feasts, along with the warmth of new clothes, sharing food with neighbors, and visiting elders.

Dinner begins at 7:00 PM CT in Biksha Hall 2. Everyone is welcome!
