## About the Tamil Panchangam

The Tamil Panchangam is a solar calendar: its months follow the Sun’s movement through the zodiac (rashi) instead of the phases of the Moon. Its years are counted in the Tamil Jovian Cycle. The tithi, nakshatra, festivals and vratas on this page are worked out for your selected location.
