In a bid to generate more revenue by cashing in on the sentiments of property buyers, the Nadu government is planning to allow registration of property documents on at least three days considered auspicious in the Tamil calendar Thai Poosam, the first day of the month of Chithirai and Aadi Perukku. However, those registering documents need to pay more on these days.
A cross-section of Hindu Tamils observes Thai Poosam on the full moon day of the Tamil month of Thai. It is a religious belief that on this day, the vel (the holy lance) was given to Lord Murugan by His mother Goddess Parvathi to annihilate the evil.
