During an eclipse, the absence of natural cosmic rays causes a rapid increase in the growth rate of fungus and harmful bacteria in cooked food and water. Tulsi leaves possess strong anti-bacterial and purifying properties that neutralize these toxins, keeping the food safe.

Since it is Thursday (Guruvar), offering water mixed with a pinch of Turmeric (Haldi) to a Banana tree or Lord Vishnu is highly beneficial. Wearing yellow clothes also attracts Jupiter's grace.

Today is an incredibly significant day. It marks Bhanu Saptami (highly auspicious for worshipping Lord Surya), International Yoga Day, World Music Day, Father's Day, the official beginning of Varsha Ritu (Monsoon season), and the start of Surya Dakshinayan (the Sun's southern journey).

Today, the Ashtami (अष्टमी) Tithi is active until 12:24 PM, after which Navami begins. The active Nakshatra for the day is Revati (रेवती), lasting until 04:01 PM.
