India history and geography
Source: archive.org: South Indian FestivitiesPanguni Uthiram.—The Hindu festival going by the name ‘Panguni Uttiram’ falls on the full-moon day in the month of ‘Phalguna’ called also in Tamil Panguni (March-April). The moon is then in the asterism ‘Uttira’ (Beta Leonis). Hence the day is considered to be specially favourable for the worship of Siva and consequently is dedicated for that purpose.
The Panguni Uttiram day is supposed to be the turning point of the season from that of cold to one of hot or in other words the season changes from winter to summer.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
