About Karadaiyan Nombu:

Karadaiyan Nombu, also known as Karadayan Nonbu, is a popular Tamil festival, celebrated during the time of Meena Sankranti. This celebration marks the end of Tamil month Maasi and the beginning of month Panguni. Karadai is the name of an offering or Nivedyam specially prepared on this day and the word Nombu literally means Vratham or Fast.

As per the legend of Satyavan Savitri, it is believed that Savitri got her husband Satyavan back from the God of Death on the very same day. Because of this belief, Karadaiyan Nombu is also popular as Savitri Vratam. On this day women worship Goddess Gowri and offer the Karadiyan Nombu Nivedyam to the Goddess. After the Puja rituals, women tie a sacred yellow cotton thread for the well-being of their husband. This sacred thread is known as Manjal Saradu or Nonbu Charadu
Married women observe Vratam for good health and longevity of their husband, whereas unmarried girls observe it for getting good husband. Women who observe vratam on this day usually wear yellow clothes.

The fast begins from sunrise on the transition day when the Sun God Surya moves from Kumbha Rashi to Meena Rashi. Duration of fast depends on local Sunrise and Sankramana moment of the particular location, which varies for different locations. Depending on this, the Fast breaking time may happen at any time between current day Sunrise to next day Sunrise. The sacred thread Manjal Saradu is tied at the auspicious moment when Masi month ends and Panguni month begins.
