What you will get

A bright folk-style Pongal greeting: a clay pot of pongal boiling over on a kolam pattern, sugarcane stalks, turmeric plants and a sun motif in golden morning light, with the lettering Happy Pongal.

Common mistake

The kolam looks like random squiggles.

Fix: Say “a symmetrical white rice-flour kolam of dots joined by curved lines, seen from above, under the pot”.

Also watch for

The lettering is misspelt or has odd letters. Follow the tip and add the greeting in your own language separately, in a design tool, for accurate spelling.
The pot is a modern steel one instead of clay. Describe it: “a round clay pot with a turmeric plant tied round the neck, foam rising over the rim”.

Try a variation: mattu pongal

Add “a decorated cow with painted horns and a garland, standing beside the courtyard”. It brings in another day of the festival and gives the card more story.
