July covers the end of Aani and the start of Aadi, a month that holds immense cultural significance in Tamil Nadu. The month of Aadi is traditionally considered inauspicious for weddings or major life events, but it is widely observed for temple festivals and devotional practices. The Aadi Perukku festival, which celebrates the monsoon’s arrival, is one of the key observances. This festival is celebrated by offering prayers and rituals by the banks of rivers and water bodies. Rituals for fertility and harvests are performed during Aadi, emphasizing the connection between nature and spirituality. People also honor Goddess Amman during this time, with special prayers and offerings at local temples.
Astrologers, during this period, focus on planetary retrogressions and cosmic transits, which are believed to bring delays or blockages. Therefore, this is not the ideal time for starting new ventures but is considered favorable for spiritual purification or prayers for peace. It is a time of reflection, focusing on inner growth rather than external achievements.
Aadi Perukku is one of the most significant festivals celebrated during this month. It marks the arrival of the monsoon and the importance of water in Tamil culture. Temples and households celebrate this day by offering prayers to water bodies and performing rituals for abundant crops. Aadi Perukku is particularly significant for agricultural communities, as it is believed that honoring the natural forces ensures a successful harvest.
Another important festival is the worship of Goddess Amman during Aadi, where devotees perform rituals and offer prayers for protection, prosperity, and fertility. Many people also offer special prayers during this time, keeping in mind the spiritual significance of the month.
