In Tamil nadu we called as AAdi Madam(madam means month).

Newly married couples should not be gather in this month.

yes, you are right maria. also, We didn't do any good things like marriage, house warming, house changing and other things. As this is Aadi macham. It is very special that Aadi ammavasai day. Which is coming this month. :)

Yes...
I have told earlier....
No business deals, rituals, marriages etc this month.
So it's applicable for both Keralites and Tamilians.
Do you read Ramayana this month???

Aashada maasam....the same word is there in our language. But don't know if it's Karkadakam.

Also, maasam means month in Malayalam

Nice to know all this...
Actually we should read Ramayana whole year..

I really forget to add 1 important thing of this month. Really sorry.....

Naalambala Darshanam......means......Darshanam of 4 temples......Rama, Bharatha, Lekshmana and Shatrughna is done on this month......

So, during this month all temples belonging to these 4 will be very crowdy, particularly in the morning....

Let me tell a few words about it.
It's said, if we visit 4 temples....ie. of 4 brothers, it's very good.
Also, it has to be done early morning....Should Visit Rama first, Bharatha Second, lekshmana Third and Shatrughnan Fourth. Then we should return back to Sri Rama to tell him. i.e. A full circle is completed.
Reading Ramayana and visiting these 4 temples in a row, can make our wishes true .....Also, it's very good. :) :) :)
But till now, I didn't get an opportunity of Naalambala darshanam.

Hoping you have read about Bali done for our ancestors on Amavasi day of this month. It's believed it's most powerful day of souls. Read my previous posts.

In Thrissur, the 4 temples people normally select are.....Triprayar SriRama Temple, Irinjalakuda Koodalmanikyam Temple of Bharatha, Moozhikkulam Lakshmana Temple, and Payammal Shathrughna Temple
It will take almost a half day to complete all these 4 temples and many temples itself arrange such pilgrims.

Savan ka Mahina? :dry: :dry:

Our prosperous month Chingam begins August 17.....first month of our calender.
I think all calenders differ slightly....but it's sure, all Indian months are beginning by the middle of English Calender
