2011 Dhanteras/Dhantrayodashi Puja Timings

Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras or Dhantrayodashi should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes.

DrikPanchang doesn't advise to choose choghadiya Muhurta to perform Dhanteras Puja as those Muhurtas are good only for travelling. The best time for Lakshmi Puja on Dhanteras is during Pradosh Kaal when Sthir Lagna prevails. Sthir means fixed i.e. not moveable. If Dhanteras Puja is done during Sthir Lagna, Lakshmiji will stay in your home; hence this time is the best for Dhanteras Pujan. Vrishabha Lagna is considered as Sthir and mostly overlaps with Pradosh Kaal during Diwali festivity.

DrikPanchang provides exact window for Dhanteras Puja. DrikPanchang Muhurta times contain Pradosh Kaal and Sthir Lagna while Trayodashi is prevailing. If you want to know auspicious time for your city then please visit www.drikpanchang.com. 

DrikPanchang provides Muhurta based on location, hence you should select your city first before noting down Shubh Dhanteras Puja timings. 

2011 Abhyang Snan Time on Narak Chaturdashi

Five days Diwali festivity starts on Dhantrayodashi and lasts on Bhaiya Duj day. Abhyang Snan has been suggested on three days i.e. on Chaturdashi, Amavasya and Pratipada days during Diwali.

Abhyang Snan on Chaturdashi day, which is popularly known as Narak Chaturdashi, is the most significant one. People, who do Abhyang Snan on this day, can avoid going to Narak. Til (i.e. sesame) oil should be used for Ubtna during Abhyang Snan. 

Abhyang Snan on Narak Chaturdashi might be one day before or on same day of Lakshmi Puja day on English Calendar. When Chaturdashi Tithi prevails before sunrise and Amavasya Tithi prevails after sunset then Narak Chaturdashi and Lakshmi Puja are on the same day. Abhyang Snan is always done during moonrise but before sunrise while Chaturdashi Tithi is prevailing.

DrikPanchang Muhurta window for Abhyang Snan is between moonrise and sunrise while Chaturdashi Tithi prevails. DrikPanchang provides Abhyang Snan Muhurta exactly as it has been prescribed in ancient Hindu books. DrikPanchang considers all exceptions and list the best date and time for Abhyang Snan.

Narak Chaturdashi day is also known as Choti Diwali, Roop Chaturdashi, Rup Chaudas and Kali Chaudas.

Lakshmi Puja should be done during Pradosh Kaal which starts after sunset and approximately lasts for 2 hours and 24 minutes. Others also propose Mahanishita Kaal to perform Lakshmi Puja. In our opinion Mahanishita Kaal is best suited for Tantrik community and practicing Pandits who know the best about Lakshmi Puja during this special time. For common people we propose Pradosh Kaal Muhurta.
