Dhanurmasam is also known as margazhi masam. But the latter name is usually known to sreevaishnavaites and the people who follow Vaishnava Sampradaya. According to the common people terminology the month between Dec16 to Jan 15 is called Dhanurmasam as the Dhanursankramanam happens in this period, where the Sun rays changes its position there by increasing the agriculture oriented results. Coming to Vaishnava Sampradaya, to marry Lord Sreeranganatha Swami whose temple is Famous in Sreerangam, Godha Devi aslo called as Neela Devi also called as Andal took birth in Sree Velliputhooru (which is also a famous place in chennai). puttadamante actually thanu oka thulasi kota daggara Vishnu ChithamaCharylu ane ayinaki dorkindhi.
