Illustrated Malayalam Calendar @ Muthassi, Kerala
Even though we follow the Gregorian calendar globally, the Malayali community has its own months and stars that define each festival like Vishu and Onam. And to bring these into limelight is online Malayalam school Muthassi’s 2023 kid-friendly illustrated study calendar. Deepa Manoharan says, “Designed in Malayalam and English, it is an initiative to gradually teach Malayalam months, days of the week and stars to our children.” The first day and date of Meda masam (Medam month) varies every year, and Onam is celebrated in Chinga masam (Chingam month) which may fall in August or September. So, without knowing the order of our months, or how they are distributed, a child cannot know when a festival or their birthday is,” explains Darshana. ₹499 at muthassi.in
