Pongal festival
Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (16:07): I would also like to wish the many Tamil constituents in my electorate a very happy Thai Pongal as well, a harvest festival which symbolises gratitude and prosperity. I attended Tamil Festival Australia’s Thai Pongal event recently, which was a vibrant display of the Tamil identity, heritage and culture, filled with traditional music, dance and of course delicious food – another wonderful example of why Victoria does multiculturalism so well.
