Delhi Gauri Panchang — Tuesday, 11 November 2025

Krishna Saptami is governed by Surya, the Sun god, influencing introspection and the preservation of vitality during the waning phase. This tithi is suitable for spiritual practices, healing, and self-reflection. It is generally not ideal for commencing major new ventures. A traditional observance is Sheetala Saptami, dedicated to Goddess Sheetala for protection against diseases, where devotees offer prayers and consume cold food.

Krishna Saptami, dedicated to Surya Dev (the Sun God), is observed for health, vitality, and prosperity. Devotees offer Arghyam (water) to the rising sun and perform Surya Puja. Observing Surya Vrat is beneficial for curing ailments. It is auspicious for seeking healing and positive energy. Avoid oil massage, consuming salt (for some vratas), or engaging in disputes. Refrain from consuming meat or alcohol. The mantra 'Om Suryaya Namaha' or 'Om Hreem Hreem Suryaya Sahasrakiranaya Manovanchita Phalam Dehi Dehi Swaha' is chanted. Dana includes offering wheat, jaggery, red clothes, or copper utensils to Brahmins or the needy.

Tuesday is ruled by Mangala (Mars), embodying energy, courage, and assertiveness. Its character is fiery, dynamic, and protective, influencing physical prowess and property matters. This day is auspicious for activities requiring strength, resolving conflicts, and matters related to land or engineering. It is generally favorable for surgical procedures or competitive endeavors. Devotees often recite the Hanuman Chalisa and worship Lord Hanuman to mitigate Mars' challenging influences and gain strength, courage, and protection from adversities. Fasting is also observed for overcoming obstacles.
