Hinduism - What Is Vaikasi?

 

Vaikasi is the second month of the Tamil calendar, and corresponds to the northern Indian solar month of Vrishabha (Taurus), which occurs between May and June.

This name is a variation of Baisakh, the lunar calendar's second month.

One apparent indicator of the continued relevance of regional cultural traditions is the survival of multiple different calendars.

The Tamils keep their culture alive by following their ancient calendar.

Tamil is one of India's few regional languages with a long and illustrious literary tradition.
