About this tool
Create Puthandu and 1 January new year greetings in Tamil script, Tanglish or English with the recipient's name inserted.
This generator writes Tamil new year greetings for Puthandu — the first day of Chithirai, which falls on 14 April in most years — and for the 1 January new year, in Tamil script, Tanglish transliteration or English. Each message combines the correct greeting form, a line about what the day actually involves such as the kanni viewing or the six-taste maanga pachadi, and a closing that matches the tone you choose. Character and SMS segment counts are shown for every message, because Tamil text is sent as Unicode and fits only 70 characters per SMS.

Puthandu falls on the first day of Chithirai, the opening month of the Tamil solar calendar, which is 14 April in most years and 13 or 15 April in some. The date follows the sun's entry into Mesha rather than a fixed civil date, so check a panchangam for the year you are planning for.
Iniya Puthaandu Vaazhthukkal (இனிய புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள்) is the general form. For Puthandu specifically, Iniya Tamil Puthaandu Nalvaazhthukkal (இனிய தமிழ்ப் புத்தாண்டு நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள்) is the fuller and more traditional greeting.
Maanga pachadi is the Puthandu dish that brings six tastes together — raw mango for sour, neem flower for bitter, jaggery for sweet, tamarind, chilli and salt. Eating all six on the first day is a reminder that the year ahead will hold every flavour, not only the sweet ones.
The Tamil year carries a name from a repeating cycle of 60, and the name changes on Chithirai 1 rather than on 1 January. Because the cycle position differs by calendar, the name is left as an optional field here — take it from a current panchangam instead of assuming it.
