A day of significance.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Tamil culture, an important day is often marked by wearing new clothes (Puthandu) and visiting a temple. The phrase is used heavily during the 'Nallur Festival' to describe the most significant days of the chariot procession. In modern offices in Chennai, 'Mukkiyamaana Naal' is often used to refer to 'Go-Live' days for software projects. For Tamils living abroad, the day they received their citizenship or visa is often referred to as a 'Mukkiyamaana Naal'.
The '-aana' Rule

Auspicious vs Important
If you are invited to a wedding, call it a 'Vishesha Naal' or 'Mukkiyamaana Naal'. Don't call it a 'Nalla Naal' unless you are an astrologer!
