Puthandu is a festival which marks the beginning of the Tamil New Year. This year, Puthandu 2020 is being celebrated on 14 April.

Puthandu falls on the first day of the Tamil month Chithirai. On this day, people follow the ritual of Kanni, which is believed to bring prosperity and happiness. In the ritual, people put three fruits on a tray, apart from silver or gold jewellery, money, areca nut, betel leaves and flowers.

Tamilians celebrate this day by waking up early, taking a bath and decorating their house. Puthandu, like any other Indian festival, is also associated with its delicacies. On the occasion of Puthandu, one sweet and the other sour dishes are prepared.

As people this year cannot meet their relatives and friends on Puthandu due to coronavirus lockdown, here are some wishes that you can share with your near and dear ones:

- May you and your family nembers be blessed with good health and good fortune this Puthandu. Happy Tamil New Year! Puthandu Vazthukal 2020!
