A popular Mattu Pongal legend goes that Lord Shiva once asked his Nandi bull to go to earth and deliver a special message to his disciples: "Have an oil bath every day, and food once a month." But the baffled bull delivered the wrong message: He told people Shiva asked them to "have an oil bath once a month, and food every day." So the enraged Shiva ordered Nandi to stay on earth and help the people plough the fields, since they would now need to grow more grains.

A popular pongal story goes that Indra, who is honored on the first day of pongal, became proud and arrogant. To teach him a lesson, Lord Krishna asked his cowherd friends to worship Mount Govardhan instead of Indra. Angry, Indra made thunder and lightning and flooded the land. But Lord Krishna lifted up the Govardhan Mountain on his little finger and sheltered the farmers and cattle. Indra begged Shri Krishna's forgiveness and Krishna once again permitted Bhogi celebrations in honor of Indra.
