About Pozhudhu

Pozhudhu is a Tamil calendar for Chennai. It gives the daily panchangam, timings, muhurtham dates, viratham days, festivals and holidays for 2026, in English and Tamil.

How the panchangam is made

Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, tithi, nakshatram and the Tamil month are calculated from the positions of the sun and moon for Chennai (Thirukanitha method, Lahiri ayanamsa). Tamil month start dates follow the Tamil Nadu calendar tradition. A date is listed under the tithi or nakshatram running at sunrise, and end times are shown so you can see changes during the day.

Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Kuligai follow the traditional fixed table used in Tamil calendars. Gowri Panchangam and Nalla Neram are calculated from local sunrise and sunset.

Muhurtham dates come from published 2026 Tamil calendars. Public holidays come from the Tamil Nadu Government list.
