Can someone write about the significance of the days with respect to the phase of the moon, ashtami, navami, dasami, ekadasi, dua dasi,etc... ?!!
[edit] Puthandu
I'm proposing that the Puthandu article be merged into this article. The info about Tamil New Year should probably be made into a section of the Tamil calendar article. Both articles have a list of months and their corresponding Gregorian dates but the two lists are not identical. It's not something I'm remotely qualified to write about so rather than blunder it up I'll leave it to someone who knows more than me. --squirrel 14:04, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- I think we had better leave the article be. Tamil Puthandu is an important festival in Tamil Nadu and deserves its own article. We might have to rewrite the article to make it sound like it's about the festival. Anyway, Happy Tamil New Year to all!--Vaishu2 04:47, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Make individual months redirects?
Unless extensive info is planned for the individual months pages, why not make them redirects pointing to this page? Dybryd 17:28, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History
It would be super-cool if someone could add notes about the history of this calendar - xellos 125.16.137.155 16:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
It makes sense to merge the two articles as Puthandu is the Tamil word for New Year. Thanks. Freesree 11:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Makes sense to merge

- Agree to Merge. --Natrajdr 10:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding the so called "Retained Ancient Usage"
No proper reference has been provided. The original research and unverified claims of Dravidian historians cannot be blindly reproduced in a responsible place like this without proper references to texts. Hypotheses are to indicated as such. Widely accepted consensus and universal facts (here, the common Tamil calendar) are to be accepted according to wiki rules.
Another page in wiki poses simalair original and unreferenced claims which are also not used practically. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Tamil_country#Calendar
[edit] Coincides with Bengali New Year?
The Bengali New Year Pohela Baishakh falls on Apr 14 or 15. This seems to coincide with Tamil New Year. Please verify and include that information in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.177.217.129 (talk) 04:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Tamil calendar, Tamil New Year and Puthandu
Tamil calendar refers to the calendar which is the shared cultural heritage of all Tamils. Tamil New Year is the celebration of the new year and is therefore forwarded to the Puthandu page. The Tamil calendar page should be limited to explaining about the calendar and its significance, while the Puthandu page should elaborate about the significance and celebration of this festival. Hope people can understand this and help expand the Puthandu page. OKtuck (talk) 08:59, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
