Celebrated on April 14, 2026, Tamil New Year or Puthandu, marks the first day of the Tamil month of Chithirai as per the Tamil calendar and is one of the most cherished festivals for millions of Tamilians
across India and beyond.
The day is steeped in meaning, symbolising renewal, fresh starts, and the hope that a new year always carries with it.
