Today's Panchang, 5 January 2025: The first Skanda Shashthi of the new year is on Sunday. On that day there is Paush Shukla Shashthi Tithi, Purva Bhadrapad Nakshatra, Vyatipat Yoga, Kaulav Karan, Dishashool of the West and Moon in Aquarius. This day is the third day of Chor Panchak. 3 auspicious yogas are being formed on the day of Skanda Shashthi. Tripushkar Yoga, Ravi Yoga and Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga are being formed. Auspicious works done in Tripushkar Yoga yield 3 times the results, while works done in Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga prove successful. By worshiping Sun God in Ravi Yoga, your defects will be removed and auspicious results will be obtained. Worship Sun God on Sunday. Offer him arghya with red sandalwood, red flowers and jaggery water. Recite Surya Chalisa. This will remove the Surya Dosh of the horoscope.

On the day of Skanda Shashthi Vrat, we worship Lord Skanda. Lord Skanda is the son of Lord Shiva. He is known as Kartikeya, who is worshipped as Skanda Kumar, Lord Murugan in South India. By his grace, we get freedom from lust, anger, pride, greed, attachment, fear etc. Lord Kartikeya is worshipped by observing Skanda Shashthi Vrat for victory over enemies, getting children, happiness, prosperity, good fortune, success etc. On Sunday, one should donate red clothes, red flowers, red sandalwood, saffron, wheat, jaggery, copper etc. This also strengthens the Sun planet in the horoscope. There is progress in the work field. From today's Panchang, we know about sunrise, moonrise, auspicious time, Rahukal, Dishashool etc.
