7 ya 8 November: confusion kyon hai?
Chaturdashi tithi 7 November subah 10:47 baje shuru hoti hai aur 8 November subah 11:27 baje khatam hoti hai. Ek hi tithi par do alag rivaaz do alag din pad rahe hain:
- Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan): Is din ka snan Chaturdashi tithi ke dauran, suryoday se pehle chandrodaya ke baad kiya jaata hai. 7 November ki subah Chaturdashi tithi shuru nahi hui thi, jabki 8 November ki subah yeh tithi chal rahi hai. Isliye Delhi ke Panchang ke anusaar Abhyang Snan aur Narak Chaturdashi 8 November ko hain.
- Kali Chaudas: Iski puja ke liye Nishita Kaal (aadhi raat ke aas-paas ka samay) mein Chaturdashi tithi dekhi jaati hai. 7 November ki raat Nishita Kaal mein Chaturdashi hone ke karan Kali Chaudas 7 November ko hai.
Yaani dono observances ke muhurat nirdharit karne ke niyam alag hain. Isi wajah se ek hi Chaturdashi tithi se jude ye dono parv alag-alag calendar dates par pad sakte hain. Sthaniya Panchang aur parivarik parampara ke anusaar antar sambhav hai.
Aur 8 tareekh ko 11:27 baje Amavasya shuru ho jaati hai, jo shaam ke Pradosh mein rehti hai. Isliye Choti Diwali aur Badi Diwali ek hi din, 8 November ko pad rahe hain. Aisa har kuch saal mein hota hai. Regional parampara aur panchang ke hisaab se isme antar ho sakta hai, isliye apne sthaniya panchang aur parivar ki parampara ko bhi dekhein.

Abhyang snan kaise karein
- Suryoday se pehle utheiye. Sharir par til ka tel lagaiye, phir ubtan (besan, haldi, chandan) se malish kijiye.
- Snan ke paani mein thoda gangajal milaa sakte hain. Kai parivaron mein snan ke beech Apamarg (chirchita) ki tehni sir ke upar se teen baar ghumayi jaati hai.
- Snan ke baad naye ya saaf kapde pehnein aur Yamraj ko tarpan karein.
- Is din ko Roop Chaudas bhi kehte hain: snan aur shringaar se roop aur sehat ki kaamna ki jaati hai.
Narak Chaturdashi ki katha
Asur raja Narakasur ne devtaon aur rishiyon ko pareshaan kar rakha tha aur hazaaron kanyaon ko bandi bana liya tha. Shri Krishna ne Satyabhama ke saath milkar Chaturdashi ke din uska vadh kiya aur sabko mukt karaya. Kehte hain, yudh ke baad Krishna ne tel se snan kiya; isi ki yaad mein is din tel-ubtan ka snan hota hai. South India ke kai hisson mein Naraka Chaturdashi ko Deepavali ke mukhya utsav ke roop mein manaya jaata hai.
Kali Chaudas: 7 November ki raat
Gujarat aur Maharashtra mein Kali Chaudas par Maa Kali aur Hanuman ji ki puja hoti hai, buri nazar aur nakaratmak shakti se raksha ke liye. Puja raat ke nishita kaal mein hoti hai: Delhi mein 7 November raat 11:39 se 12:31 tak, Ahmedabad mein 11:58 se 12:49 aur Mumbai mein 11:57 se 12:48 tak.
