Aadi is important in literary history with the storyline of the most popular novel ever written in Tamil commencing on the Aadi Perukku day. Tamils welcome the waters like they welcome their daughters.Īadi Perukku was once as big a festival as Pongal or Diwali. The day denotes the start of the season of prosperity with waters of river Kaveri (Cauvery) rising during this time. Thanjavur marks monsoon with Aadi Perukku, which falls on the eighteenth day of the Aadi month in the Tamil calendar. Though many don’t hold weddings during this month, every goddess temple in villages is steeped in celebration complete with fireworks and festivals. The Aadi month is auspicious in the Tamil region of India.
