A large number of people thronged popular picnic spots in and around Tiruchi on the occasion of “Kaanum Pongal” on Thursday, the last day of the Pongal festival celebrations.
Many visited Mukkombu, a few km away from Tiruchi, enjoying with their families and friends throughout the day. The Tropical Butterfly Conservatory at Srirangam sandwiched between the Cauvery and the Kollidam was another popular hangout spot on Thursday.
Children enjoyed the joy rides and the green environment prevailing inside the conservatory. Kallanai situated in neighbouring Thanjavur district also saw footfall of visitors during the course of the day.
