What Aavani Pournami is known for
In some years Aavani Pournami is Aavani Avittam itself: those who wear the sacred thread set the old one aside for a new one at the upakarma, with Gayatri Japam the next morning, and North India keeps Raksha Bandhan the same day. In other years Mahalaya Paksham begins the day after this full moon. In many years Kerala's Onam comes a day or two before it.
As on every full moon, people walk girivalam round Tiruvannamalai and other hills, and homes keep the Satyanarayana puja.
When Aavani Pournami falls
It is the Pournami that falls in Aavani, while the sun is in Simha (Leo); this Aavani runs from 18 Aug 2027 to 17 Sep 2027. The Tamil month follows the sun and the Pournami the moon, so the two do not line up the same way every year: Aavani 2035 has two.
