Aadi Tamil Festival and its offer in different Cities in Tamil Nadu

Aadi Festival Celebration

Aadi masam or Aadi month is the Fourth month in traditional Tamil Calendar followed in TN.This Tamil month marks the beginning of all festivals during the festival season. In 2011, the Aadi Masam begins on July 17 and ends on August 17. But several Tamil Hindu rituals and festivals are held in the month of Aadi and therefore it is also auspicious to some people. The sun changes its direction during this period and next six months is the night time of the gods. Due to this reason, no auspicious events are held in the month. Traditionally, most people avoid auspicious ceremonies during this period. It is believed that the ceremonies held during this period will not have the blessings of the gods. But a few important celebrations and rituals take place in the Aadi month. This festival is special for various Ammans. Sundays, Tuesdays and Fridays of this month are considered very auspicious. A most important month for women. The most auspicious days are Fridays and Tuesdays in this month; these are called Aadi Velli and Aadi Chevvai and the Aadi Amavasa.
