Delhi Gauri Panchang — Monday, 30 November 2026

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.

Monday is governed by Chandra (Moon), symbolizing the mind, emotions, and nurturing aspects. Its character is gentle, sensitive, and reflective, influencing domestic life and public affairs. This day is auspicious for emotional matters, travel, artistic endeavors, and activities related to water or agriculture. It is generally favorable for starting new businesses or seeking comfort. Many devotees observe a fast on Mondays, particularly unmarried girls for a good husband (Solah Somvar Vrat), and worship Lord Shiva, often chanting "Om Namah Shivaya" for peace and prosperity.
