Topic: Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra

Your Lagnesh is considered a "Dosha-destroyer" if it is well-placed in Kendras (1, 4, 7, 10) or Trikonas (1, 5, 9) in the D1 chart, and goes into a friendly, exalted, or own sign in the D9 chart, without being afflicted by Rahu, Ketu, or a harsh Saturn.

Because today is Friday (ruled by Venus/Shukra), the best remedy is to worship Goddess Lakshmi. Offer her white sweets (like Kheer or Barfi) and light a ghee lamp. For Capricorn (Makar) natives specifically, the horoscope recommends visiting a Hanuman temple to offer Sindoor and oil to ensure blocked tasks are completed.

Traditionally, absolutely not. The temples and locals use natural colors made from Teshu (Palash) flowers, turmeric, sandalwood, and pure Abir-Gulal. This makes the festival safe and spiritually pure.

During the Masik Durgashtami Puja, devotees should offer red flowers (like hibiscus), Akshat (unbroken rice), Kumkum, a Ghee lamp, pure water, and a sweet Bhog (Naivedya) made of sugar or jaggery. Reciting the Durga Chalisa is highly recommended.
