Culture
Festivals and Traditions
Pongal, also called as Tamizhar Thirunaal (festival of Tamils) or Makara Sankranti elsewhere in India, a four-day harvest festival is one of the most widely celebrated festivals throughout Tamil Nadu. The Tamil language saying Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum — literally meaning, the birth of the month of Thai will pave way for new opportunities – is often quoted with reference to this festival.
The first day, Bhogi Pongal, the male or their heir will give money or things as gift to their sisters after the marriage of their sister. Though the brother is not available physically, the family of the male will continue the practice till the end of the sister of his father (அத்தை/ நாத்தனார்). The second day, Surya Pongal, is the main day which falls on the first day of the tenth Tamil month Thai (14 January or 15 January in western calendar).
The third day, Maattu Pongal, is meant to offer thanks to the cattle, as they provide milk and are used to plough the lands.
The fourth day, kaanum pongal, in our village every year we conducted the games to all age peoples and provide prizes also

Economy
Thanjavur is known as the "Rice bowl of Tamil Nadu". Till the end of 2000s, the majority of the land was cultivated by paddy, groundnut. But due to lack of water resources and labors maximum area should be planted by coconut trees..
During the Gaja cyclone, nearly 90% of the coconut trees were fell down. Coconut tree is the economic backbone of the people. In a sudden night, the village was totally made upside down. But the people didn't loose the hope and the self belief. By God's grace and the hard work of the people, we will made it again.
Most of the people in the village (at least one or two members in each family) are in foreign soil. Mostly the people are earning in UAE, SINGAPORE, MALAYSIA and some people are living in UK, France, Canada, Poland, Mexico, Belgium and USA.
The people in the villages are well educated and most of the youngsters complete Engineering or medical degrees.
In the last ten years (after 2000) there is a sudden rise in the economy of the people. Before that most of the houses are built by using coconut leaves i.e., hut. Now all the houses are built by concrete.
