Kalashtami Dates

About Kalashtami

Kalashtami or Kala Ashtami is a Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Bhairav. Every Hindu lunar month on the ‘Krishna Paksha Ashtami Tithi’ (8th day during the waning phase of the moon). The ‘Ashtami Tithi’ (8th day) after ‘Purnima’ (full moon) is considered the most suitable day to appease Lord Kaal Bhairav. On this day, Hindu devotees worship Lord Bhairav and fast to please Him. There are a total of 12 Kalashtami observances in a year. Of these, the one falling in the ‘Margashirsha’ month is most significant and is known as ‘Kalabhairav Jayanti’. Kalashtami is also considered holier when it falls on a Sunday or Tuesday, as these days are dedicated to Lord Bhairav. The worshipping Lord Bhairav on Kalashtami is celebrated with full enthusiasm and devotion in different parts of the country.
