It falls on the Tamil month of Kaarthigai on full moon day which coincides with Krithikai star in the month of November or December.It is considered as the extension of the Deepavali festival.The whole of karthigai month people light earthen lamps in front of their houses. On the evening of Karthigai, more lamps/agal vilaku are lit and kept in front of the house, near the windows, balcony of the house, on the kolams etc. It is a such beautiful sight to see the lamps lined in front of all the houses. People also burst crackers and celebrate the festival. It is celebrated in a grand manner in Thiruvannamalai. This year Karthigai Deepam falls on 27 November 2012.

    OK This might be a little elaborate. This Karthigai, my MIL wanted me to make the pori urundais on my own. Every year she would make them with me doing the assistant job. I was super nervous…. And then I stumbled onto your website! Ditto for the Nombu this year. For both festivals- I have followed your instructions and the highlight was that my entire Family- FIL, MIL and Hubby dearest loed both the pori urundais and the Nombu special- vella adai and uppu adai!! Thanks a ton.. And keep sharing – abso love your site. 🙂
