Greetings to my family and friends who celebrate this newyear’s day tomorrow!
Varsha Pirappu, is the New Year in Tamil Nadu, and is observed on the first day of the Tamil month Chithirai. Chitirai is the first month in the Hindu Tamil Calendar. Tamil speaking southindians refer the New Year as Puthandu meaning ‘ New Year.’ Since 2008 is a leap year, the date of Tamil New Year is April 13.
Enn Eneeyai Puthandu Nalvazthukkal! meaning Greetings for the Happy NewYear!
