Karadaiyan Nombu 2024 Date

Karadaiyan Nombu or Karadayan Nonbu is a major Tamil festival celebrated at the time on Meena Sankranti or Sankramana when Tamil month Maasi ends and month Panguni starts. Karadai is the name of a unique Nivedyam prepared on this day and Nombu means Vratham or Upavasam.

It is believed that Savitri got her husband Satyavan back from Yama, the Lord of Death on this day only. Because of this reason, Karadaiyan Nombu is also known as Savithri Vratam. Karadaiyan Nombu in South Indian States is like Vat Savitri Vrat popular in North India. Women worship Goddess Gowri or Mata Parvati, chant mantras while offering her Karadiyan Nombu Nivedyam or Karadai On Karadayan Nonbu day. Women tie the sacred yellow cotton thread known as Manjal Saradu or Nonbu Charadu for well-being of their husband after doing Puja. Special naivedya is prepared known as ‘Karadai Nombu Adai’ on Karadaiyan Nombu day. It is believed that Savitri prepared this special dish and offered it with unmelted butter to Lord Yama, the Hindu God of Death, as a thanksgiving gesture for returning the life of her husband, Satyavan.
