Indian Hindu Festivals and Astrology

<< Prev

Know about the correlation between Indian Hindu Festivals & Jyotish Astrology: -

Indian festivals are correlated with Astrology or Jyotish (movement of Moon or Chandra & Sun or Surya in the sky). Most festivals are based upon the phase of Moon in a particular Indian month (or maah) & paksh a (or fortnight). A few like 'Lohari' or 'Lohadi' & 'Baisakhi' are based upon the transition of Sun from one rashi or zodiac to another ( saur sankranti ) .

'Lohri' comes on Makar Sankranti (which means when Sun enters in the sign of Capricorn or Makar ) & Baisakhi comes on Maish Sankranti (which means when Sun enters in the sign of Aries or Maish ). It is surprising to learn that most great saints & philosophers of India like Budh, Ved Vyas, Nanak, Balmiki, Kabir & Ravidas have taken birth on Poornimas or Full Moon days.

Poorna Kumbha Mela in Haridwar takes place whenever Jupiter enters the sign of Aquarius (Kumbh rashi) & Sun enters the sign of Aries (Maish rashi). Ardh Kumbha (or Singhasth) takes place whenever Jupiter enters the sign of Leo (Singh rashi) & Sun enters the sign of Aries (Maish rashi).
