Today begins the auspicious tamil month of Margazhi. Temples in tamilnadu open early and people make it a daily ritual to visit them every morning.
Dakshinayana begins in the month of Aadi and this month marks the begining of an end of Dakshinayana...There is a belife that Lord Vishnu goes to sleep for this period so...month of Margazhi is the dawn of devas...
Margazhi is considered auspicious for vishnu bhaktas as well as shiva bhaktas. Vaikuntha Ekadashi which is also known as mokshada ekadashi , arudra darshanam, datta jayanti, geeta jayanti are few important days to come this month.
Another high point of this month is drawing of kolams and lot of chanting of different stotras...
Margazhi has lot of spiritual significan as Lord Krishna says in Bhagvad Gita.. " among the twelve months i am margazhi" So its all about the Lord himself....
kolams not only look beautiful, but are peaceful in their symmetry and lyrical lines.
