A vibrant Pongal festival gathering unfolds in the Ketti Valley near Ooty, Tamil Nadu, where hundreds of celebrants arrange themselves in concentric rows around traditional banana leaf plates laden with freshly prepared food. This aerial view captures the essence of South India's most important harvest celebration, as colorful saris and dhotis create a visual mosaic against the earth. The surrounding pastel-hued buildings of the highland village frame this remarkable display of gratitude for successful crops and the renewal of community bonds as the Tamil calendar begins.
