The most awaited festival of the year, the Tamil Puthandu falls on the 14th of April every year which marks the outset of a new year and a lot more special occasions. This festival is celebrated in different forms in different names across India. In Tamil Nadu, it is celebrated as Puthandu, in Kerala as Vishu and Baisakhi in West Bengal and North eastern states. This day is largely celebrated in grandeur mainly in the state of Tamil Nadu accustomed to various regional rituals.
So, this is how the Tamil New Year is celebrated!
The celebration of Tamil New Year is considered much auspicious and is celebrated by Hindus across the country.
People wake up early in the morning, dress up and prepare delicacies to celebrate this day. They also deck up their homes with flowers and decorations to create the festival hype. The pooja rooms in almost every home will have a pooja set up to perform poojas, and special gifts & return gifts to present to their loved ones.
The ritual of KANNI (meaning ‘auspicious sight’) is most popularly followed on this special day. This ritual is performed for Goddess Lakshmi, worshiping her to receive the blessings of wealth in abundance. A tray loaded with fruits, flowers, betel leaves, gold and silver jewelry, money, and other valuables is placed in front of a mirror. This setup being the first sight of the family members on the day of Tamil New Year is what this ritual is all about.
