Tamil New Year Wishes 2024: Check Quotes, Messages To Share On 'Puthandu'

'Puthandu', or Tamil New Year, marks the beginning of the year in the Tamil calendar, usually falling on April 14th. It aligns with the solar cycle of the lunisolar Hindu calendar, commencing with the Tamil month of 'Chithirai'.

Similar traditions are observed in other regions, known as 'Vishu' in Kerala and 'Vaisakhi' or 'Baisakhi' in central and northern India.

Each year in the Tamil calendar is designated with a unique name within a 60-year cycle. For instance, 2024 is recognized as the 38th year, termed 'Sobakiruthu,' while 2023 was 'Subakiruthu.'

Celebrations include greeting one another with expressions like 'Puthāaṇdu vāazhthugal' or 'Iṉiya puthaandu nalvāazhthugal'. Homes are thoroughly cleaned, and a tray containing symbolic items is placed in the pooja room. Families engage in traditions like viewing their reflection in a mirror upon waking up and reading the 'Panchangam' or almanac.

New clothes are worn, children seek blessings from elders, and vegetarian feasts are enjoyed. 'Puthandu' is not only celebrated in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry but also among Tamil Hindu communities worldwide, including Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Reunion, and Mauritius.
