Frequently Asked Questions About Tamil Calendar
Everything you need to know about Tamil Naalkaati, Panchangam, and Auspicious Dates
The Tamil calendar is a traditional solar calendar used by Tamil people worldwide. It's based on the movement of the sun and follows a 60-year cycle called the Sathya Yuga system. Unlike the Gregorian calendar that starts in January, the Tamil calendar begins with Chithirai month (mid-April). Each month aligns with specific zodiac signs and agricultural seasons, making it deeply connected to farming traditions and cultural festivals.
Reading a Tamil Panchangam is simpler than it looks! Start with the date at the top showing the Tamil date, month, and year. Then look for Nakshatra (star constellation), Thithi (lunar day), and Yoga (auspicious combinations). The most practical part for daily use is the Nalla Neram (good time) - these are specific hours when it's favorable to start important activities like meetings, travel, or ceremonies. Rahu Kalam and Yamagandam timings tell you when to avoid starting new ventures.
Tamil New Year 2026, also called Puthandu or Varusha Pirappu, falls on April 14, 2026 (Tuesday). It marks the first day of Chithirai month and is celebrated with traditional rituals, new clothes, and special dishes like mango pachadi. Families wake up early, take oil baths, visit temples, and arrange Kanni (auspicious items to see first thing in the morning) including raw rice, betel leaves, flowers, fruits, and jewelry.
Muhurtham dates are specially calculated auspicious times perfect for major life events like weddings, housewarming (Griha Pravesh), starting a business, or buying property. These dates are determined by analyzing planetary positions, nakshatras, and thithis to ensure maximum positive energy. Tamil tradition believes that beginning important ventures during muhurtham times brings prosperity, harmony, and success. Wedding muhurthams consider both bride and groom's horoscopes for the best compatibility.
You can find today's Nalla Neram right here on our homepage! We update it daily at midnight IST. Just look at today's Tamil calendar image or check the detailed section below it. Nalla Neram typically occurs twice a day - morning and evening - each lasting about an hour. These timings change daily based on sunrise and sunset times. For quick access anytime, bookmark our Nalla Neram Today page, which shows exact start and end times with countdowns.
Tamil calendar months don't align perfectly with English months because they're based on the sun's movement through zodiac signs rather than arbitrary date divisions. Each Tamil month starts around the 14th-16th of an English month. For example, Chithirai runs from mid-April to mid-May. Tamil months have 29-32 days (Aani has 32 days), while English months have 28-31 days. The Tamil system is more astronomical and agricultural, marking seasons and harvest times, while the Gregorian calendar is civil and administrative.
No, festival dates change every year in the Gregorian calendar but fall on the same Tamil date. For instance, Pongal is always on Thai 1st in the Tamil calendar, but this translates to January 14th or 15th in the English calendar depending on the year. This happens because the Tamil calendar is solar-based while many festivals follow lunar calculations. That's why festivals like Deepavali (based on Amavasai - new moon) shift dates annually in the English calendar.
Rahu Kalam is a daily 90-minute period considered inauspicious for starting new activities. It's named after Rahu, a shadow planet in Hindu astronomy. While you shouldn't start important tasks during this time, you can continue ongoing activities without worry. Modern interpretations suggest using it as a natural break to review plans rather than initiate them. If you're particularly traditional or planning something significant like a wedding, business launch, or major purchase, it's best to schedule around it. The timing changes daily based on sunrise.
