Tamil Hindu observance of the full moon of Panguni month
Panguni Uthiram (Tamil: பங்குனி உத்திரம், romanized: Paṅkuṉi Uttiram) is a Tamil Hindu festival. It is marked on the purnima (full moon) of the month of Panguni (14 March - 13 April).[1] It falls on the day the moon transits the nakshatram (asterism) of Uttiram (Uttara Phalguni) in the twelfth month Panguni of the Tamil calendar.[2] This coincides with the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna/Chaitra.[3] Panguni is also the last month of the Solar Tamil Calendar year after which the next New Tamil Year begins.
