He also performed a ''gau puja'' (cow worship). Pongal is one of the most important festivals in the Tamil calendar and ushers in the birth of the auspicious month ''Thai'' during which marriages are held and new business ventures initiated. It is celebrated grandly by the people. Mr Bhagwat taught a couplet on possession of self restraint from Tirukkural, authored by Tamil savant Tiruvalluvar, to a girl of the RSS functionary's family to whom he paid a surprise visit.
