Agni Natchathiram Start Date and Time 2025: “Agni Natchathiram” is the name given to the height of summer in South India, especially in Tamil Nadu. The term “Kathiri Veyil,” which denotes the greatest temperatures in the area, is also used by the inhabitants of Tennessee. As a festival honoring Lord Karthikeya (Lord Murugan), the people of Tamil Nadu celebrate the “Agni Natchathiram” period during this time. This twenty-day period is known as Agni Natchathiram, during which the Sun passes through the Karthigai nakshatra.

This period corresponds to the Sun’s passage through the first half of the Rohini Star and the latter portion of Bharani Nakshatra. During this time, prominent temples dedicated to Lord Murugan, such as Palani, Palamuthirsolai, Swamimalai, Tiruttani, and Tiruchendur, have lively celebrations.
