Tamil Puthandu, also known as Puthuvarusham or Tamil New Year, is the first day of the year on the Tamil calendar. The festival date is set with the solar cycle of the lunisolar Hindu calendar, as the first day of the Tamil month Chithirai. It therefore almost always falls on or about 14 April every year on the Gregorian calendar. The same day is observed by Hindus elsewhere as the traditional New year but is known by other names such as Vishu in Kerala, and Vaisakhi in central and north India.[Source: Wiki]

Wish you all a Tamil New Year and Vishu
