Delhi Gauri Panchang — Tuesday, 13 January 2026

Krishna Dashami is governed by Dharma, the principle of righteousness and cosmic order. This tithi is considered suitable for performing virtuous deeds, engaging in spiritual practices, and resolving disputes with integrity. It encourages reflection on one's actions and adherence to moral principles. While not tied to a specific major festival, it is a day for upholding ethical conduct and seeking spiritual clarity.

Krishna Dashami, associated with Dharma (righteousness), emphasizes ethical conduct and spiritual growth. It is an auspicious day to focus on righteous actions, perform acts of charity, and engage in spiritual practices. One should strive to uphold moral values. Avoid unethical actions, engaging in disputes, or starting new projects that lack a strong moral foundation. Refrain from consuming meat, alcohol, or foods that hinder spiritual clarity. The mantra 'Om Dharmarajaya Namaha' or the Vishnu Sahasranama should be recited for upholding Dharma. Dana includes offering grains, food, or clothing to the poor and needy, emphasizing giving with a pure heart.

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.
