The Krithigai Nakshatra, also known as Karthigai, is an important star in Tamil culture, closely associated with Lord Murugan. Devotees observe fasting, special poojas, and temple visits on this day to seek divine blessings. The Krithigai Nakshatra occurs every month, and its observance is believed to bring spiritual growth, prosperity, and protection from negative influences. The most significant celebration related to this Nakshatra is Karthigai Deepam, where millions of lamps are lit to honor Lord Murugan and Lord Shiva.

The Krithigai Calendar 2026 helps devotees plan their religious observances in advance. Every month, when the Krithigai Nakshatra aligns, devotees engage in rituals such as abhishekam, chanting prayers, and lighting traditional lamps. Observing Krithigai is considered highly auspicious for removing obstacles, gaining wisdom, and attaining success in life. Whether visiting temples or performing poojas at home, following the Krithigai dates ensures spiritual benefits and divine blessings throughout the year.
