  • Tamil New Year (Puthandu) - 14Th April 2021
    Tamil New Year (Puthandu) - 14th April 2021 Tamil new year decorations (kolam) for Puthandu The Tamil New Year, Varsha Pirappu or Puthandu, is observed on the first day of Tamil month Chithirai, the first month as per traditional Tamil Calendar. Chitirai is an auspicious day for Tamil speaking people in India (Tamil Nadu) and across the world, especially in Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia and South Africa. In 2021, the date of Varsha Pirappu or Tamil New Year is April 14th. On this day, Tamil people greet each other by saying "Puthāaṇ du vāazhthugal!" or "Iṉ iya puthaandu nalvāazhthugal!", which is equivalent to "Happy new year". The day is observed as a family time. Households clean up the house, prepare a tray with fruits, flowers and auspicious items, light up the family Puja altar and visit their local temples. People wear new clothes and children go to elders to pay their respects and seek their blessings, then the family sits down to a vegetarian feast. Origin and significance The Tamil New Year follows the spring equinox and generally falls on 14th April of the Gregorian year. The day celebrates the first day of the traditional Tamil calendar and is a public holiday in both Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. There are several references in early Tamil literature to the April new year. Nakkirar, Sangam period author of the Neṭ unalvā ṭ ai, wrote that the sun travels from Mesha/Chitterai through 11 successive signs of the zodiac. The Tolkaapiyam is the oldest surviving Tamil grammar that divides the year into six seasons where Chitterai marks the start of the Ilavenil season or summer.

  • 2020 Multicultural Calendar
    2020 MULTICULTURAL CALENDAR Cultural Perspectives on Ageing CORALIE CASSADY ABORIGINAL Coralie identifies as Aboriginal, her grandmother’s ancestral connection being the ‘Jirrbal’ people of the Atherton Tablelands area. Both her maternal grandparents were sent to Palm Island where Coralie’s mother was born in 1927. Coralie was born in Innisfail, raised in Ingham and has been living in Townsville since 2000. She graduated from James Cook University with a Diploma of Communication (2001) and also holds a Diploma of Radio Broadcasting from the Batchelor Institute, North Territory (2006). Coralie Cassady has self-published two poetry books ‘Poetic Perspective’ (2001) and ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ (2007). Her poem ‘No Disgrace’ from the book ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ is now a part of the Australian curriculum, having been published in Pearson’s English 9 textbook in 2012. The same poem also appears on the well informed indigenous themed ‘Creative Spirits’ website. She writes about racism, alcohol abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence, politics and family in general. Coralie’s main passion is mental health issues. She has read her mental health poems and other poems at various events and has been a regular contributor to ‘letters to the editor’ of the Townsville Bulletin on many topics during the past 15 years. Coralie added these reflections during our interview. “Although we speak English at home our traditional language from our ancestral tribe ‘Jirrbal’ is slowly being revived.
