Coimbatore: In the last few weeks, the traditional craft of pot making in Coimbatore had slowed down due to continuous rain and overcast skies.

Local artisans are now actively engaged in making pots of various sizes, from one foot to larger dimensions, featuring diverse designs. These pots, essential for the Pongal festival, are priced between Rs. 50 and Rs. 1000, catering to different customer preferences. This uptick in activity is a boon for local potters and a vibrant sign of the city's cultural engagement with the Pongal festival.
