New Delhi, March 9: In Sanatan Dharma, the Panchang holds special significance for initiating new or auspicious activities at the start of the day. According to the Panchang for March 10, Tuesday marks the seventh day of the Krishna Paksha in the Chaitra month, celebrated as Sheetala Saptami.
This festival is primarily dedicated to Goddess Sheetala, revered as the protector against infectious diseases like measles and chickenpox. Celebrated with devotion in Gujarat and various regions across the country, it is also known as ‘Sheetala Satam’ or ‘Sheetala Saptami.’ People seek the goddess’s blessings for the health and well-being of their families.
A unique tradition of this day is that no fresh food is prepared at home. Instead, families consume cold (sheetal) food that was prepared the day before.
The concept of Sheetala Satam closely resembles the celebrations of ‘Basoda’ and ‘Sheetala Ashtami’ observed in North India, where the significance of stale food and prayers for relief from ailments are also prominent.
On March 10, sunrise will occur at 6:37 AM, and sunset will be at 6:26 PM. It is the seventh day of the Krishna Paksha. The Anuradha Nakshatra will last until 7:05 PM, followed by Jyeshtha. The Harsana Yoga will be in effect until 8:21 AM, and the Vrishti Karan will last until 12:40 PM.
Regarding auspicious timings, Brahma Muhurat will be from 4:59 AM to 5:48 AM, Abhijit Muhurat from 12:08 PM to 12:55 PM, Vijay Muhurat from 2:30 PM to 3:17 PM, and the twilight Muhurat from 6:24 PM to 6:48 PM.
In contrast, inauspicious times include Rahukal from 3:29 PM to 4:58 PM, Yamagand from 9:34 AM to 11:03 AM, and Gulika Kaal from 12:32 PM to 2:00 PM.
