Varsha Pirappu is the Tamil New year celebrated by the Tamil diaspora globally on 13th or 14th April every year. This day is important for many cultures & religions in South Asia & South East Asia, as it marks the transition of the solar cycle from Meenam (Pisces) to Mesha (Aries).

It is also the time of harvest in some places in India & thus also celebrated as a harvest festival. Find out more about the various harvest festivals & new year celebrations in this episode.
