The Tamil calendar, also known as the Tamil Panchangam, is a traditional calendar system followed by Tamil-speaking people, particularly in Tamil Nadu, India, and by Tamil communities around the world. It is primarily a solar calendar, with some lunar influences. Here’s a basic overview of how it’s calculated:
In the Tamil Calendar, the days correspond to the celestial bodies in the solar system, beginning with Sunday and continuing with the sequence: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.Sunday (ஞாயிறு), Monday (திங்கள்), Tuesday (செவ்வாய்), Wednesday (புதன்), Thursday (வியாழன்), Friday (வெள்ளி), and Saturday (சனி)
In the Tamil calendar, which commences around April 14 of the Gregorian calendar annually, there are twelve months, each with a variable number of days ranging from 29 to 31.
