Delhi Gauri Panchang — Sunday, 7 March 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.

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.
