Panguni

Twelfth month in the Tamil solar year,
corresponding to the northern Indian
solar month of Mina (the zodiacal sign of
Pisces), which usually falls within March
and April. This name is a modification of
Phalgun, the twelfth month of the lunar
calendar. 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. See also Tamil months, Tamil
Nadu, and Tamil language.
