  • Матту Понгал (также Понгал скота) — третий день Макара Санкранти Понгала, индийского праздника урожая. По григорианскому календарю отмечается, как правило, 15 января, но иногда и 16. В Тамильском календаре соответствует второму дню месяца Таи. В тамильском слово Матту означает быка и в этот день также принято отмечать день крупного рогатого скота, в частности, быков и коров, которые играют жизненно важную роль для фермеров данного региона. Фестиваль также празднуется этническим тамильским населением Шри-Ланки. (ru)
