April-14-2005 is Tamil New Year's day. I celebrated the New Year today since I was born and raised in Tamil Nadu.
When I browsed the Net, I found some interesting details about the Hindu Calendar.
I am wondering why various states in India have different days as their New Year's day. Today is the also the New Year's day for people in Kerala(South Western State) and Punjab( North Western State).
Looks like Burma and Thailand also had their New Year start today.
The picture you see on top is common in India. Its a daily Calendar, with tear-off sheets for each day. On the left is today's date which is 14th April 2005. It is in RED meaning it is a Holiday today, to the right is the number 1 which says that it is the first day of the year.
Just in case you are wondering who is the guy in the picture, It is the famous Hindu God Lord Muruga who is the son of Lord Shiva.

Mr. Narayanan,
Didnt know TN had an official website. It's very slick and got the phone numbers of all the cabinet ministers, plus their photo and their education details. Totally amazed at that site.
TG,
I am glad it was useful to you.
Its an interesting website. I like it. Wonder who is maintaining it.
