Today's Panchang for May 26, 2025, provides a detailed overview of the auspicious and inauspicious timings, Tithi, Vrat, and other significant astrological aspects of the day. According to the Hindu calendar, May 26, 2025, corresponds to the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi Tithi in the Jyeshtha month.

Tithi and its Significance

The Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi Tithi will last until 12:11 PM. As this Tithi is ruled by Lord Rudra, it is considered ideal for spiritual practices, Shiva Puja, and planning strategies to overcome challenges. However, it's not considered auspicious for marriages or other celebratory events. Following Chaturdashi, Darsha Amavasya will begin.

Vrat and Festivals

A significant observance on this day is Vat Savitri Vrat, primarily observed by married Hindu women. They observe a fast and offer prayers to the banyan tree for the well-being and longevity of their husbands. The legend behind this Vrat is that Savitri saved her husband, Satyawan, from the clutches of Yama, the God of Death, through her devotion and wit.

Nakshatra and its Influence

The Moon will be in the Mesha Rashi (Aries) and Bharani Nakshatra. Bharani Nakshatra, extending from 13:20 to 26:40 in the Mesha Rashi, is ruled by Yama, and its ruling planet is Venus. This Nakshatra is characterized by its fiery and intense nature. Activities like handling harsh tasks, well-digging, agricultural work, medicine preparation, and working with fire are deemed suitable under this Nakshatra. It is advisable to avoid lending money during this period. This Nakshatra is favorable for tasks related to weaponry, cutting trees, or excelling in competitions. However, it is generally not considered auspicious for undertaking new ventures.
