'''Panguni Uthiram''' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]]:பங்குனி உத்திரம்) (also known as '''Meena Uttara-phalguni''' in [[Sanskrit]]) is a day of importance to [[Tamil people|Tamil]] [[Hindu]]s. Panguni Uthiram is a famous festival and special to [[Murugan]], [[Ayyappa]], [[Shiva]] and [[Vishnu]] devotees. It falls on the day the moon transits in the asterism or ''nakshatram'' of Uthiram (tamil) or Uttara-phalguni (sanskrit) in the twelfth month Panguni (பங்குனி) of the [[Tamil calendar]]. It is the [[Purnima]] or full moon of the month of Panguni (பங்குனி 14 March - 13 April).

== Significance ==

This month is special because the Uthiram ''nakshatram'' coincides with the full moon. This full moon signifies the marriage of [[Parvati]] and Parameswara (Lord [[Shiva]]), [[Murugan]] and [[Devasena|Deivanai]], and [[Aandaal]] (Kothai) and Rangamannar. On Panguni Uthiram, Narayana marries Komalavalli Naachiyar and gave Kalyana Kola Seva to his Bhakthas. Again, [[Valmiki]]'s [[Ramayana]] says it is on this day and star that [[Sita]]'s marriage with [[Rama]] was celebrated. The ''[[Brahmanda Purana|Brahmanda Puranam]]'' indicates that on Panguni Uthiram, all holy water joins Thumburu teertha (also spelt as Tirtha), one of seven sacred tanks in [[Tirupati (city)|Tirupati]] Tirumala. It is the ''Jayanti'' (day of incarnation) of Lord [[Ayyappan]].

The day is intended to underline the glory of {{transl|ta|grahasta dharma}} (or the married life of a householder). The almighty manifests in the marital state as Uma Maheswara, Sita Rama, and [[Radha]] [[Krishna]] – despite his changelessness, sans childhood or youth or old age - and is celebrated by devotees.
On this day, Goddess [[Lakshmi|Mahalakshmi]] incarnated on earth from the ocean of milk (after the ocean was churned by the Gods and the demons) and hence, it is also celebrated as ''Mahalakshmi Jayanti''. On this day, Goddess [[Parvati]] in the form of Gowri married Lord [[Shiva]] in [[Kanchipuram]] and hence, this day is also celebrated as the Gowri Kalyanam day.

==Festivals==

On Panguni Uthiram, in all the places where Lord [[Kartikeya|Subrahmanya ]] has a temple, the devotees carry a ''[[Kavadi Attam|kavadi]]'' for the fulfillment of vows. Devotees flock in hundreds to all the [[Kartikeya|Murugan]] temples for the Panguni Uthiram festival, which is celebrated in March every year.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Network|first=Newsroom24x7|date=2017-04-28|title=Panguni Uthiram -Exclusive from Bhopal|url=https://newsroom24x7.com/2017/04/28/panguni-uthiram-exclusive-from-bhopal/|access-date=2020-06-23|website=Newsroom24x7|language=en}}</ref>
