The Twitter user shared a screenshot of their Pongal conversation with a foreign friend.
Pongal is a major festival in India, particularly in the states of Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. It is a time when people gather to honor Lord Surya Narayan, the planet’s ruler, and to celebrate crop harvesting. There are several posts about the day, as expected, but one, in particular, has people laughing. The tweet is about a question about Pongal that a person received from a foreign friend.
The Twitter user whiskey blues shared a screenshot of a conversation they had with a friend. The other person is heard asking, “Who is the headliner?” during the conversation. A headliner is someone who is promoted as the event’s main attraction. And why did the friend ask such a Pongal-related question? They mistook it for a music festival similar to Coachella.
Take a look at the post and the Twitter user’s response to the question:
