2023 Karthigai, Sashti and Sashti Viratham

What is meant by Shasti?

Since the Vedic era, Hindus have celebrated Shasti. According to the conventional Hindu calendar, it is observed on the sixth day of every month and signifies the conclusion of Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight). The goddess Durga is said to have graced this day with her heavenly presence, and people who mark this holy occasion are thought to be trouble-free. Prayers and offerings to Goddess Durga are frequently made during Shasti rites as a way to express appreciation for her protection from danger.

Shasti Viradham: What is it?

Hindus celebrate Shasti Viradham on the sixth day of the lunar cycle of each month. The celebration’s goals include wishing oneself health and happiness and requesting protection from any negative forces or bad luck in life. For this important occasion, people typically dress in new attire and assemble with friends and family to exchange gifts. Additionally, some households opt to do traditional pujas, which include a number of rituals such as the offering of flowers, fruits, and incense sticks to gods.

What is meant by Kiruthigai?

An ancient Indian festival known as Kiruthigai was held on the full moon day of the Tamil month of Karthikai. Lord Shiva is honoured on this first full moon night following Deepavali. Hindus honour Lord Murugan, who is thought to be an avatar of Lord Shiva, on this day. People make floral gifts and light lamps at the entrances to their homes when they enter temples dedicated to their deities or chant mantras in their honour.
