What are the Months of the Year in Tamil?
Learn All 12 Tamil Month Names from Chithirai to Panguni
Did you know? The Tamil calendar has 12 months, just like in English! 📅But here’s something cool—it follows the Sun’s movement! ☀️ Tamil New Year always begins with the month of Chithirai on April 14th!
Why April 14th? Because that’s when the seasons change, bringing fresh energy, blooming flowers, and the start of a new cycle in nature!
Each Tamil month has 29 to 32 days, and people follow this calendar for festivals, farming, and special days.
Let’s check out the 12 Tamil months and learn their names!
