This blog aims to provide meaningful Tamil New Year wishes for the occasion to usher in the New Year with auspiciousness and prosperity. Let's know Puthandu's significance and traditional Tamil New Year wishes.

Significance of Tamil New Year

Puthandu has a great significance among the Tamil people. They celebrate this day as great as New Year. It is believed that on the auspicious day, Lord Indra came to the earth on this day to ensure peace and serenity. It is also believed that Lord Brahma began the establishment of the universe. Hence, this day has its own importance.

This day, women get up early and clean the house. Then, they take an herbal bath with turmeric and decorate their places with Kolam to welcome prosperity. People wear traditional clothes and greet each other and invite relatives at home. They bring sweets, fruits, flowers, and other auspicious items home. Devotional songs are played, and there is a ritual to offer a special bhog prasad, Pongal (a special rice dish), to God.

After the Pooja, families enjoy the food together. Usually, they prepare an array of vegetarian dishes on this auspicious day. One of the main customs of Puthuvarudam is the preparation of a special dish called "Mangai Pachadi," which is a mixture of raw mangoes, jaggery, neem flowers, tamarind, and other ingredients. It is believed that tasting this dish during Puthuvarudam brings good fortune. Then, the family's oldest member concludes the festival by reading the Panchangam, an integral part of the custom.
