Delhi Gauri Panchang — Sunday, 10 January 2027

Shukla Tritiya is dedicated to Gauri, an aspect of Parvati, symbolizing marital harmony, prosperity, and auspiciousness. This tithi is highly favorable for marriage ceremonies, engagements, and seeking blessings for family well-being. It promotes stability and happiness in relationships. A significant traditional observance is the Gangaur festival, particularly in Rajasthan, where married women worship Gauri for their husbands' long lives and unmarried women pray for suitable spouses.

Shukla Tritiya, dedicated to Goddess Gauri, is observed for marital bliss, progeny, and well-being. Women often perform Gauri Vrat, applying kumkum and offering red flowers to the deity. It is auspicious to begin ceremonies like engagements or to purchase jewelry. Avoid harsh words, conflicts, or starting long journeys. Refrain from consuming onion, garlic, or non-vegetarian food. The traditional mantra is 'Om Gaurya Namaha' or 'Om Hreem Kleem Shreem Gauri Devyai Namaha'. For Dana, offering 'suhaag samagri' (sindhoor, bangles, bindi) to married women or red clothes to Brahmins is considered highly meritorious, ensuring harmony and prosperity.

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.
