Sharjah : Expatriate women also performed Pongala in the style of Attukal Pongala in Thiruvananthapuram. Many people symbolically performed Pongala at their residences.
In many homes in Sharjah, women performed Pongala on Saturday with fasting. At the time of Attukal Pongala, the expatriate houses were sanctified during the Pongala with the same ceremonies. Pongalakkalam was boiling on the balconies and living rooms of the houses.
Pongala was placed in a pot using gas as the stove was under control. Before the Pongala, avil, flowers, fruits, jaggery, flowers, niranazhi and jug water were offered to Lord Ganesha in the fragrance of sandalwood. The women who performed Pongala in Sharjah said that they were able to create the idea that the stew of self-fulfillment boiled like rice mind and jaggery pleasure in the pottery, the symbol and body of the universe. Along with the offering, jaggery, rice and milk pudding were made and delivered to the homes of friends.
