Karadayan Nonbu is a famous Tamil festival celebrated at the time during the transition of Tamil Month Maasi and Panguni. Savitri brought back her husband Sathya van from the hands of Yama deva, God of death, on this day.To honour this, this day is celebrated as karada yan nonbu or Savitri vrath. It is a belief that Savitri cooked such a dish and offered it to the lord along with unmelted butter as thanksgiving for giving back her husband’s life.
Karadayan Nonbu is observed by all married ladies for the well-being of their husband. In the north, karwa chauth is celebrated similar to karadayan nonbu.The unmarried ladies also observe Karadaiyan Nonbu and pray to Goddess Shakti to get smart men as their husband. This year Karadayan Nonbu is on 14th March 2016 and the nonbu (tieing the charadu) can be done between 10.00 AM and 10.22 AM.
