Skandamata is worshipped on this most auspicious day of Navratri.
Jyeshth Nakshatra and Purna Tithi, along with Sarvarth Siddhi Yog, are coinciding on this day.
Navratri is one of the most auspicious festivals of the year. Various forms of Goddess Durga is worshipped during this time. Devotees across the world celebrate the festival by decking up their homes and worshipping the Goddess. From buying or selling a property, buying a vehicle, to preparation for marriage, everything is considered auspicious during this time. The festivities of Navratri started on October 15 and will conclude on October 23.
Navratri is extra special this year as after 300 years, the nine auspicious yogas will be formed. However, there is one particular day which is considered to be the most auspicious day during the Navratri. According to Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal in an interview with News18, it is best to buy vehicles, property, gold and other things on the fifth day of Navratri which falls on October 19.
On the fifth day of Navratri, Skandamata is worshipped. She is considered to be an avatar of Goddess Durga. According to the astrologer, if you have been postponing buying a vehicle, gold or silver, then this is the ideal time as you will also get the blessings of Goddess Durga.
On October 19, an auspicious yog is also forming. Jyeshth Nakshatra and Purna Tithi along with Sarvarth Siddhi Yog are coinciding on this day. It is believed that Skandamata loves gold. During this time, Hindus prefer to purchase property or metals like gold and silver as the festival marks new beginnings and good fortune. Many builders or vehicle dealers offer exclusive Navratri discounts and hence if you are planning to buy, this may be the ideal time.
The festival of Navratri celebrates the victory of good over evil. It finds its roots in Hindi beliefs that Goddess Durga defeated Mahisasur and in honour of the Goddess, people celebrate this festival for 9 nights. In many places, people celebrate by doing the Garba ras, while in other places Jagrata is done.
