Tamil Puthandu Vazhthukkal | Tamil Puthandu Rasi Palan
Puthandu, or better known as Tamil New Year, is the celebration of the first day of the Tamil new year in mid-April by Tamils in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry in India, and by the Tamil population in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore and Mauritius.
Tamil people celebrate Tamil new year on April 14. Every year in the month of Chitterai (the first month of the Tamil solar calendar in April), in the temple city of Madurai, the Chitterai Thiruvizha is celebrated in the Meenakshi Temple.
Sri Lankan Tamils observe the traditional new year in April with the first financial transaction known as the 'Kai-vishesham' where elders gift money to the unmarried young, particularly children as a token of good luck.
