Question

read passage and give correct answer : -
The paddy is dancing and swaying to the rhythm of the wind. Waiting for the summer harvest. Stretches of sugarcane and paddy await the farmer's touch. The scarecrow knows that it is the end of winter. The land will suddenly be bare. We look at the changing seasons, and know that the sun has summoned them into being. It is believed that on the seventh day- Sapatami- of the new season, the sun god changes the direction of his chariot from east to west, and enters into the Makara Rasi on the day of Pongal.
Pongal reminds us of our close associations with Nature and life. This three day festival can be termed as a celebration of thanksgiving to the sun god- the life-giving force that moves from the Dakshinayanam to Uttarayanam (winter solstice to the summer solstice) for the cattle and birds that work along with man in the fields.
It is celebrated as a three-day festival in South India with slight differences in the mode of celebration. On the eve of Pongal- known as Bhogi, all unwanted things are burnt. The intention is to bury the hatchet and wicked thoughts. Newly harvested paddy crop with the husk and root is hung at the entrance, heralding the dawn of a new era. Sugarcane is lined at the entrance and banana, betel leaves, coconut, fresh ginger and turmeric, along with some flowers are tied up around a clay cooking pot.
