Aippasi

Seventh month in the Tamil solar year,
corresponding to the northern Indian solar
month of Tula (the zodiacal sign
of Libra), which according to the Indian
calendar usually falls within October and
November. The existence of several different calendars is one clear sign of the continuing importance of regional cultural
patterns. One way that the Tamils retain
their culture is by preserving their traditional calendar. Tamil is one of the few
regional languages in India with an
ancient, well-established literary tradition.
