Today is KARKKIDAKAM 1.......


Hi friends,

Today is "karkkidakam" 1.... As most of you know this month is celebrated as " Ramayana Masam " and back home , most of us read Ramayanam daily through out the month...

In our native , the month of "Karkkidakam" is also treated as " treatment month" in Ayurveda when most of the "sukha chikilsa" are conducted....May be b'coz of the rainy seasons and the nature's gifted climate during this period when such treatments are most effective....

In olden times, when majority of the people were depending on agriculture livelyhood, this month was even named as " kalla karkkidakam " as there use to be no income expected during this month......

May be due to these all reasons, this month was/is not considered for any good functions like marriages,etc....

But today's consumer world has gradually transformed this month to a stock-clearence month through " Aadi Thallupadi" ....
