Aaj Ka Panchang, June 20, 2025

Friday, June 20, 2025, holds a significant place in the Hindu calendar. According to Vedic astrology, the day is defined by specific timings, tithis, and planetary positions that influence the auspiciousness of activities. The Panchang provides insights into these aspects, helping individuals align their actions with cosmic energies.

Tithi

The tithi, or lunar day, is an essential component of the Panchang. On June 20, 2025, the Krishna Paksha Navami tithi will prevail until 9:47 AM, after which the Dashami tithi will begin. The Navami tithi is associated with the deity Yama and Goddess Durga. It is advised to avoid auspicious activities during this tithi. The Dashami tithi will then continue until 3:43 AM on June 21.

In Maharashtra and Goa, the Vishvavasu Nama Samvatsara, Shalivahana Saka 1947 will observe Jyeshtha Krishna Paksha Navami tithi until 9:50 AM, followed by Jyeshtha Krishna Paksha Dashami.

Vrat and Festivals

While June 20, 2025, itself may not host a major festival, it falls within a period filled with significant observances. Masik Shivaratri, dedicated to Lord Shiva, occurs on this day, promoting spiritual growth and inner awakening. Devotees often engage in Mahamrityunjaya Jaap and Shiva Abhishek.

Looking at the broader timeframe, Yogini Ekadashi follows on June 21, which is observed for spiritual purification and forgiveness. Jyeshtha Purnima and Vat Purnima are on June 22, with Vat Purnima being significant for married women seeking their husbands' longevity. Som Pradosh will be observed on June 23, which is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Darsha Amavasya falls on June 25, a day for ancestral offerings and introspection. Ashadha Navratri starts on June 26, honoring Goddess Durga.
