Delhi Choghadiya — Saturday, 8 November 2025

Krishna Tritiya is dedicated to Gauri, an aspect of Parvati, emphasizing inner strength and purification during the waning phase. This tithi is considered suitable for austerities, self-reflection, and resolving internal conflicts. It supports activities aimed at spiritual discipline and emotional cleansing. A traditional observance in some regions is Kajari Teej, where women fast and pray for marital bliss and family well-being, often involving rituals for purification.

Krishna Tritiya, dedicated to Goddess Gauri, is observed for marital harmony and well-being. Women can perform Gauri Vrat, offering red flowers and kumkum. It is auspicious for strengthening family bonds. Avoid harsh words, conflicts, or starting journeys. Refrain from consuming onion, garlic, or non-vegetarian food. The traditional mantra is 'Om Gaurya Namaha' or 'Om Hreem Kleem Shreem Gauri Devyai Namaha'. For Dana, offering 'suhaag samagri' (sindhoor, bangles, bindi) to married women or red clothes to Brahmins is considered highly meritorious, promoting peace and prosperity in relationships.

Saturday is ruled by Shani (Saturn), representing discipline, karma, and longevity. Its character is serious, patient, and karmic, influencing hard work and justice. This day is auspicious for long-term planning, spiritual discipline, and charitable acts. It is generally favorable for activities requiring patience and perseverance, but often considered less auspicious for starting new ventures or travel. Devotees worship Lord Shani to mitigate challenging influences like Sade Sati, often reciting the Hanuman Chalisa for protection and strength. Fasting and offering black sesame seeds or oil are common observances.
