Devotees across the country have undertaken fasting and special prayers, seeking prosperity, longevity and spiritual merit.

This year, the occasion is further elevated by the rare alignment of Sarvartha Siddhi Yog, Ravi Yog, Saubhagya Yog and Ayushman Yog, a combination considered highly auspicious in Vedic astrology.
