On Puthandu, many people in the state, particularly the business community, mark the day with the first financial transaction of the year known as the Kai-vishesham. A traditional dish called Mangai-pachadi is symbolic of Puthandu. Made with jaggery, mustard, raw mango, neem leaves and red chilies, this dish is ritually tasted by Tamilians on the new year. A number of cultural events are also held but this year mass public programmes are not being allowed to check the spread of coronavirus.
