Overall: 
Much needed article on a neglected subject. Well done. BorgQueen (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
- @Nvvchar and BorgQueen: Lovely article, but my concern is that the wording of the hook is not quite right? The way it is worded now, it could be read to mean "everyone in India celebrates Pongal". Cielquiparle (talk) 06:03, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
- User:BorgQueen I have made it now more state specific to Tamil Nadu with this ALT ... that the religious significance of rice in India involves Pongal (festival) held in Tamil Nadu during a morning ceremony by boiling rice with milk and jaggery in clay mudpots?Nvvchar. 07:38, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
@Nvvchar and BorgQueen: I'm afraid this article has major problems with close paraphrasing; see the talk page. It will need to be almost entirely rewritten before it can be eligible for DYK. Also, one of the principle sources (Kumar 2015) is self-published and unreliable. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 21:33, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Charran (2011) is also a self-published source — DaxServer (t · m · c) 22:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- the first source's author is Prashant Kumar and his book has been published by "StreetLib" a well known publishing firm as can be verified in websearch. By mistake I had mentioned the source as unknown. This book source has been extensively used in this article. As regards close paraphrasing, I will make suitable changes. I would like the reviewers to allow a relook.Nvvchar. 14:34, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- I've asked at RSN on this one Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#StreetLib — DaxServer (t · m · c) 15:06, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
- I have supplemented Charran (2011)'s reference with two more book references with some additional text. Nvvchar. 06:52, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
