Panguni Uthiram on 05 April 2012 at Kalapet, Pondicherry

  • Panguni Uthiram is a day of importance to Tamil Hindus. This month is special because the Uthiram nakshatram coincides with the full moon.
  • This full moon signifies the marriage of Parvati and Parameswara (Lord Shiva), Murugan and Deivanai, and Aandaal (also known as Kothai) and Rangamannar took place.
  • The day is intended to underline the glory of grahasta dharma (or the married life of a householder). 
  • On Panguni Uthiram, in all places where Lord Subrahmanya has a temple, his devotees carry in a kavadi the requisites for puja for him, in fulfilment of vows.
