Delhi Gauri Panchang — Friday, 5 February 2027

Krishna Chaturdashi is dedicated to Shiva, the deity of transformation, dissolution, and spiritual liberation. This tithi is considered highly potent for spiritual practices, austerities, and seeking freedom from worldly attachments, particularly for ancestral rites. It is generally inauspicious for commencing new material ventures. A traditional observance is the monthly Shivaratri, where devotees fast and worship Lord Shiva to attain spiritual merit, overcome negativity, and seek moksha.

Krishna Chaturdashi, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is especially significant for Maha Shivaratri (in the month of Magha). Devotees perform Shiva Puja, offering bilva leaves, milk, and water. It is highly auspicious for spiritual practices, meditation, and seeking liberation. Avoid consuming meat, alcohol, or engaging in disputes. Refrain from negative thoughts or actions. The mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' should be chanted. Dana includes offering milk, water, bilva leaves, or white clothes to Shiva temples or devotees. This day is crucial for those seeking profound spiritual connection and inner transformation.

Friday is governed by Shukra (Venus), symbolizing love, beauty, and material comforts. Its character is artistic, charming, and diplomatic, influencing relationships and luxury. This day is auspicious for artistic pursuits, romantic endeavors, purchasing luxury items, and social gatherings. It is generally favorable for activities that bring joy and harmony. Devotees often worship Goddess Lakshmi or observe the Santoshi Ma Vrat, seeking peace, prosperity, and fulfillment of desires. Offering white flowers or sweets and wearing white clothes are common practices to appease Venus.
