Delhi Gauri Panchang — Tuesday, 9 December 2025

Krishna Panchami is associated with Sarpa, the Nagas, symbolizing protection and mystical energies. This tithi is considered suitable for rituals seeking protection from negative influences, healing practices, and agricultural activities. It supports safeguarding against harm during the waning period. While not marked by a universal festival like Naga Panchami, local traditions may involve offerings to serpent deities for safety and well-being.

Krishna Panchami, dedicated to Sarpa Devatas (Nagas), is observed for protection from snake bites and curses. Devotees worship snake idols, offering milk, flowers, and turmeric. It is auspicious for seeking blessings for progeny and wealth. Avoid digging the earth, ploughing fields, or disturbing snake habitats. Refrain from consuming fried foods or stale food. The mantra 'Om Nagendra Haraya Namaha' or 'Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya' (for protection) should be recited. Dana includes offering milk, grains, or money to temples with Naga shrines or to the needy, ensuring safety and well-being.

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.
