Paanagam
Paanagam
is a special beverage made on auspicious days like Sri Rama Navami and for Amman
as nivedhyam. Back in my native place (Nagapattinam – Thanjavur district),
paanagam, neermore and rice kanji is made during the “Theru Thiruvizha” (Chariot
Festival) which falls during the month of May and also during August (Aadi). This
thiruvizha is really fun, there will be lots of folk and traditional dances like
the oyil attam, mayil attam, garagattam etc. We need more than two eyes to see
everything and enjoy at the same time. Paanagam, Neermore and Rice kanji are
all made in big barrels and distributed by
volunteers to all devotees and to people pulling the “Theru”. The “Theru”
starts from the main temple early morning and goes around the town (4 mada
vidhi’s) and comes back to “Theradi” by late noon. All along the way, paanagam and neermore is given to public to boost energy to pull the Theru [chariot].
I still
remember those days as a kid running along with the “Theru” and drinking paanagam
and neermor with my brothers and sister. The paangam is a superb instant energy
booster that can be had in any other day and also it helps to cool your body
during the hot summer days.
Now
coming back to paanagam, let’s see how it’s made …

Iniya Chithirai Thirunaal Vaazthukkal
Wish you all a “VERY HAPPY
TAMIL NEW YEAR’S DAY” and "HAPPY VISHU TO EVERYBODY".
I thought of sharing a few facts about Tamil New Year with you all…
I thought of sharing a few facts about Tamil New Year with you all…
The
“Tamil Puthaandu” or “Chithirai Thirunaal” symbolizes the new and prosperous
beginning. The first day of the Tamil Calendar month “Chithirai” falls on the 14th
of April which is celebrated as the New Year. Chithirai marks the beginning of
Spring, when the neem trees start blooming and the first batch of mangoes grow.
On this special day, the tradition goes by making food with six different taste
innipu(sweet), pulipu(sour), kasapu(bitter), oovarpu(salty),thuvarpu(astringent), kaarpu(hot). This reminds that life is a mixture of
different experiences like sadness, happiness, anger, fear, disgust, surprises
and has to be treated equally.
The
Tamil Calendar follows the 60 year cycle, and this year is the “Vijaya Varudam”.
“Iniya Chithirai Thirunaal Vaazhthukkal.”
Thank
you all for reading this post and wish you all very great success in all
aspects of life.
