Puthandu falls on the first day of the Tamil month of Chithirai, which typically corresponds to mid-April in the Gregorian calendar. It holds significant cultural, religious, and social importance, marking the beginning of a new year according to the Tamil calendar, which follows the solar cycle. Preparations for the festival begin days in advance, with homes being thoroughly cleaned and adorned with colourful kolams (rangoli designs) drawn at the entrances. Traditional decorations, such as mango leaves and flowers, are used to enhance the festive ambiance. People engage in shopping for new clothes, jewellery, and gifts to exchange with family and friends. Special dishes and sweets are prepared, including the iconic 'mango pachadi,' a sweet and tangy concoction symbolising the varied flavours of life. Puthandu 2025 Kolam Designs and Colourful Rangolis: Beautiful Pookalam Patterns and Muggulu Designs To Celebrate Tamil New Year (Watch Videos).

On the day of Puthandu, families wake up early to witness the "Kanni" (auspicious sight) by viewing auspicious items such as gold, silver, fruits, vegetables, flowers, and traditional foods. This ritual is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity for the year ahead. Devotees visit temples to offer prayers and seek blessings from the deities for health, happiness, and success. Special religious ceremonies and processions are held in temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, Lord Murugan, and Goddess Lakshmi.
