Tamil Festive Calendar December 2025: The Tamil festive calendar for December 2025 packs plenty of holy moments, prayer rituals, along traditions that are very significant for Tamil families. As Margazhi ( known as the ninth month in the Tamil Calendar) will begin from 16 December 2025 to 13 January 2026, this period focuses on devotion - from offering dawntime worship, visiting temples or doing special rituals instead. People often see these weeks as prime time to gain divine favour, stick to fasting vows, while joining local temple celebrations.
The Tamil festival schedule enables people to organise prayers, determine auspicious times, and also prepare for ceremonies ahead of time. If you're drawing Margazhi designs, heading to temples or doing small home rituals instead, there’s plenty of chance to grow inside and feel good energy. Since big celebrations emerge throughout December, this time becomes deeply spiritual in spirit and rich in culture for Tamils everywhere.
