About 923 families of Nagarathar community arrived from across the globe at Nattarasankottai in Sivaganga district to celebrate the traditional ‘Sevvai Pongal’ festival. This annual event serves as a massive international reunion for the Nagarathar community people. Local residents said while many might miss major holidays like Pongal or Deepavali, they made every effort to attend Sevvai Pongal, which was held on the first Tuesday following Pongal. This tradition had been upheld by the community for over two centuries.
