Delhi Panchang for Monday, 14 September 2026

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.

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.
