    Importance of Margazhi Month in
    Tamil Calendar - What To Do in
    Margazhi Month?

    By Abhilash Rajendran ·
    Wednesday, December 14, 2022

    T
    he Tamil Margali Masam, or Margazhi
    Month, is the month of Bhakti and
    Music. In 2023, Margazhi month begins
    on Thursday, December 17, 2023 and ends on
    Thursday, January 14, 2024. The importance of
    Margali Masam was announced by none other
    than Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita when
    says Maasanam Margasheershoham - among the
    twelve months, I am Markali. Rendering of
    Thiruppavai and Thiruvempavai, religious
    discourses and music festivals are the major
    highlights during the period.

    The month is kept aside for spiritual activities.


    Auspicious events and marriages are not
    performed in the month. The reason for avoiding
    auspicious activities is that the month is the
    dawn period for Devas and people do not want to
    engage in any other auspicious activities other
    than worship of Gods.

    Importance of Margazhi Month -


    Religious Activities in the month

    Margali Month is of immense spiritual


    importance and the greatness of the Margali can
    be gauged from the fact that Lord Krishna in the
    Bhagavad Gita says “Among the twelve months, I
    am Margazhi.”

    Thiruppavai of Andal

    Chanting of the Tiruppavai of Andal is the most


    important event of the month. Tiruppavai
    consists of 30 verses and a verse is chanted on
    each day of Margali.

    Instead of the usual prayer, Tiruppavai is recited


    as morning prayer during the month of Margazhi
    at the Tirumala Tirupati Temple.

    Margazhi Kolam

    Another major highlight of the month is the


    drawing of kolams (rangoli) daily in front of
    houses. Many streets are filled with huge kolams
    of various sizes and shapes. The designs are
    breathtaking.

    The month is also of great significance in the


    Srirangam Sri Ranganatha Temple. Apart from
    the Vaikunta Ekadasi, the Srirangam temple
    during the month witnesses the Pagal pathu and
    Rapathu – the chanting of Thiruvaimozhi.

    Thiruvaimozhi consists of 4000 verses and extols


    the glory of Lord Narayana. The first 1000 verses
    of Thiruvaimozhi are rendered during the 10
    days prior to Vaikunta Ekadasi and this period is
    known as ‘Pagal Pathu.’ Beginning from
    Vaikunta Ekadasi for ten days, the next three
    thousand verses of Thiruvaimozhi are recited
    and this period is known as rapathu or
    Iruppathu.

    The month also marks the end of


    the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple pilgrimage.

    Margali Masam is also the time of the winter


    solstice when the days are shorter and the nights
    are longer.
