Thiruvalluvar Day and 
Tamil Calendar based on Thiruvalluvar Day

Maraimalai AdigaL did extensive research on the date of thiruvaLLuvar. While presiding over the Thiruvalluvar Day conference of Thiruvalluvar Kazhagam held on 18 Jan 1935, he declared that thiruvaLLuvar was born 30 years before the birth of Jesus and suggested Tamils to keep the Tamil Calender with this as the reference. His suggestion that the Tamil Thiruvalluvar year can be obtained by adding 31 years to the Christian Calender is being followed since then. Hence Year 1999 (B.C) is equivalent to year 2030 in Thiruvalluvar Calender.
