Chennai follows the Tamil solar calendar, in which months follow the Sun's sign and the year begins with Puthandu in mid April.
Well-known temples: Arulmigu Kapaleeshwarar Temple, Mylapore, Sri Parthasarathy Temple, Triplicane, Ashtalakshmi Temple, Besant Nagar.
Margazhi (mid December to mid January) is the month of early morning Tiruppavai recital and the music season, Karthigai Deepam lights up homes in Karthigai month, and Pongal closes the year's harvest.
Rahu Kalam is a period of about 90 minutes each day that Hindu tradition considers unsuitable for starting new work. It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, and its position depends on the weekday.
They are other daily periods traditionally avoided for new beginnings. Yamaganda and Gulika are also one eighth of the daytime each, and Durmuhurtam is one or two short muhurtas that vary by weekday.
