On this day, Tamil people greet each other by saying "Puthandu Vazthukal" ( புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துகள் ) or "Iniya Tamizh Puthandu Nalvaazhthukkal" (இனிய தமிழ் புத்தாண்டு நல்வாழ்த்துக்கள்). The festive occasion is in keeping with the Hindu solar calendar.
Celebration :
Tamil(Hindu) people celebrate Hindu new year either on 13 or 14 April. Every year in the month of Chitterai (the first month of the Tamil solar calendar in April), in the temple city of Madurai, the Chithirai Thiruvizha is celebrated in the Meenakshi Temple. A huge exhibition is held, called Chitterai Porutkaatchi. In some parts of Southern Tamil Nadu, it is called Chitterai Vishu. The day is marked with a feast in Tamil homes and entrances to the houses are decorated elaborately with kolams. In most parts of India, one can see neem trees blooming with their flowers and the first batch of mangoes hanging prominently. This day is celebrated by some communities with neem flowers and raw mangoes to symbolize growth and prosperity.
On the day of Hindu New Year, a big Car Festival is held at Tiruvidaimarudur near Kumbakonam. Festivals are also held at Tiruchirapalli, Kanchipuram and many other places.

History :
Once the Rishi Narathar developed a sexual desire and joined with one deity and got 60 Sons. The Childrens names are starting from Pirabawa and last child Atchaya. These sixty years were named in the history. The sixty years are over with the year called Atchaya and the birth of the year called Pirabawa. These changes of 60 years are true in the history of birth in Tamil new year. In this tamil new year Lord Brahma started the creation of the world. In this Chittirai month only, Goddess Meenakshi got married to Lord Sundareswar.
The Earth travels in an elliptical pathway round the Sun through 360 degrees and time taken to complete one full round by the Sun is called "Year(Aandu)". The Earth passes through 12 houses in an entire year and which enter each houses at a particular point of time.
