Ashtami Tithi of the Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) is dedicated to Goddess Durga. It symbolizes the awakening of spiritual energy (Shakti). Worshipping the Goddess on this day protects devotees from negative planetary influences.

Notably, there is No Abhijit Muhurat today according to the Panchang. Combined with the Rahu Kaal (12:34 PM - 02:00 PM), it is highly advised to avoid starting any major new tasks around midday.

The eclipse begins at 03:20 PM, reaches its total phase (Khagras) at 04:34 PM, and officially ends at 06:47 PM.

According to Vedic gem therapy, gemstones act as color therapy filters. For example, Emerald (Mercury) is often used for nervous system balance, while Yellow Sapphire (Jupiter) is associated with liver and digestive health.
