Tamil New Year 2024: Tamil New Year, also known as Puthandu, is celebrated on the first day of the Tamil month of Chithirai, which usually falls on April 14th in the Gregorian calendar. This festival holds significant cultural importance for Tamil people worldwide. It marks the beginning of the Tamil calendar year and is observed based on the solar cycle of the Hindu calendar, signifying renewal and auspicious beginnings. Similar festivities are celebrated on this day across South and Southeast Asia, known by various names like Vishu in Kerala and Vaisakhi or Baisakhi in other regions of India.


Scientifically, the Tamil New Year is calculated based on the Earth's revolution around the Sun, which takes approximately 365 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes, and 48 seconds. This precise calculation determines the duration of a Tamil year, starting from the sun's entry into Aries and ending with its transition into Pisces.
