Purattaasi 2026 Starts September 18: Rain, Festivals, and What to Expect This Month
Tamil Nadu's most spiritually significant and rain-active Tamil month begins September 18, marking Purattaasi Sani observances, Navarathri preparations, and the transition toward the Northeast Monsoon.
Why this matters to Tamil Nadu
Purattaasi is one of the highest-search Tamil Nadu topics every September — millions of people search for Purattaasi start date, Purattaasi Sani dates, temple timings, and festival calendars. For VizhiTN readers, Purattaasi's practical significance spans the spiritual, the agricultural, and the practical: it marks the shift in Tamil Nadu's weather from Southwest to Northeast Monsoon patterns, the start of festival season shopping and travel, and the Navarathri preparation window for hundreds of thousands of households.
