Tamil year born with the month of Chitra every year and this is coming in the middle of April. This day is celebrated as Tamil New Year in all South Indian houses especially by Tamil Speaking people. This day we all celebrate with special dishes in the house in which 1. Neem sweet Pachadi - an item made of jaggary and neem flowers and 2)Mango sweet pachadi - made with smashed mango andjaggary. It is prepared to denote every thing going to happen is good only and we have to take them as it is. The first one is denoting the life is mixed with bitter and sweet and second one is to denote the life is mixed with sour and sweet. In other words the life given by God is though felt sour or bitter initially it is ending with sweet.
