Kalashtami 2026: Kalashtami has special significance in Hindu religion. This day is dedicated to Lord Kalbhairav, the fierce form of Lord Shiva. According to religious beliefs, the devotees who worship Kalbhairav as per rituals on the day of Kalashtami, negative powers are removed from their lives and the ill effects of cruel planets like Saturn, Rahu-Ketu are also calmed down. This year many special coincidences are taking place on Kalashtami of Vaishakh month. Let us know the right time of puja and those surefire remedies which can change your luck.
Exact date and time of Kalashtami 2026
According to the Panchang, Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Vaishakh month will start on 9 April 2026 at 09:19 PM and will end on 10 April 2026 at 11:15 PM. Since Kalashtami is worshiped during Nisha period, this time this fast will be observed on Friday, April 10, 2026.
Special importance of worship during Nisha period
According to religious belief, Kaal Bhairav appeared at night, hence worshiping him at night is considered more fruitful. During this time, by worshiping as per the rituals, a person gets special blessings and gets freedom from fear, disease and enemies.
Do these special measures on Kalashtami
feed bread to a black dog
The vehicle of Lord Kalabhairava is considered to be a black dog. Feeding sweet roti or roti with jaggery to a black dog on the day of Kalashtami reduces the inauspicious effects of Rahu and Ketu. If a black dog is not found then any dog can be fed.
mustard oil lamp
To get rid of Shani Dosh, go to the temple of Kalbhairav in the evening and light a four-sided lamp of mustard oil. Also chant the mantra 'Om Kalabhairavaya Namah' 108 times. This removes obstacles from courts and enemies.
Lemon garland and vermilion
For mental peace and to avoid evil eyes, offer a garland of 5, 11 or 21 lemons to Bhairav Baba. Also, by offering them a chola mixed with vermilion in jasmine oil, the spoiled work starts getting done.
Shami leaves and black sesame seeds
If Saturn's Mahadasha is heavy, then offer Shami leaves and black sesame seeds to Lord Bhairav. This pleases both Lord Shiva and Bhairav and protects them from sudden troubles.
