Delhi Gauri Panchang — Sunday, 29 November 2026

Krishna Shashthi is presided over by Kartikeya, the deity of courage and victory. This tithi is considered favorable for confronting challenges, resolving disputes, and asserting oneself in difficult situations. It supports activities requiring inner strength and determination. While not marked by a universal festival, individuals may engage in prayers to Kartikeya for protection and fortitude during periods of adversity or to overcome internal struggles.

Krishna Shashthi, dedicated to Lord Kartikeya (Skanda), is observed for courage, victory over enemies, and progeny. Devotees perform puja, offering peacock feathers and red flowers. Observing Skanda Shashthi Vrat is beneficial. It is auspicious for seeking strength and overcoming challenges. Avoid laziness, engaging in disputes, or starting long journeys. Refrain from consuming meat, alcohol, or pungent foods. The mantra 'Om Saravanabhavaya Namaha' or 'Om Skandaya Namaha' should be chanted. Dana involves offering red clothes, fruits, or money to children or devotees of Kartikeya, seeking divine assistance in difficult times.

Sunday is ruled by Surya (Sun), representing the soul, authority, and vitality. Its character is fiery, royal, and illuminating, signifying leadership and health. This day is auspicious for government-related tasks, seeking blessings from superiors, and initiating new ventures. It is generally favorable for activities requiring courage and confidence. To honor Surya, devotees perform Surya Namaskara and offer water from a copper vessel at sunrise, seeking good health and success. Fasting on Sundays is also observed for vitality and prosperity.
