Bhogi/Bogi festival is celebrated to rid the society of the bad and the evil. The first day, Bhogi, is celebrated on the last day of the month of Margazhi.
Scholars have often compared Bhogi to the Indra Vizha celebrated by the Chola kings at Kaveripattinam, also known as Poompuhar.
Indra Vizha was celebrated in honour of Lord Indra, also called Bhogi, the God of thunder and rain.
