Significance of Panguni Uthiram Festival

On the day of Panguni Uthiram in March/April, a full moon transits through the star Uttara-phalguni. A full moon day coinciding with the day of Uttara Palguni or Uthiram star in the twelfth month of Hindu calendar, Phalgun or Paguni is an auspicious time.

Panguni Uthiram is an indication from the Divine:

According to Hinduism, Grihasthya or a household life is a phase through which everyone should fulfill their duties of maintaining a household as a family person. A family person is expected to get married and rear their children and then move towards the path of liberation. Panguni Uthiram is the day that teaches us the significance of relationships in our lives. Without relationships our society would cease to have stable family life which is the breeding ground for our children and our next generation. It is an indication from the Divine that Weddings are sacred bonding between a man and woman, an initiation into the Grihastha that is meant to sanctify growth of progeny.
