Unfortunately as describes it is far from trivial to display just the date in localized format.
The function for localized date output in WP is date_i18n(). But it doesn't have a concept of output in arbitrary locale. It always takes locale to use from global $wp_locale context.
You would have to pretty much rebuild this function from scratch, as well as loading of extra locale, to achieve this.
In a nutshell WP isn't really designed to work with multiple locales within one page. The low hanging solutions are either to go with it and switch locale completely or stick with numeric–only date formats.
Or use the plugin "Real-Time Find and Replace" and replace the English months with tamil. For example, January to ஜனவரி etc.
