What each day is for

Vasubaras opens Diwali with a puja of the cow and calf, and the first diyas and akash kandil go up that evening. On Dhantrayodashi people buy gold, silver or new utensils, worship Dhanvantari, and place a lamp facing south for Yama (yamadeepdan).

Narak Chaturdashi starts before dawn with abhyang snan: ubtan and oil, then a bath, then the first faral of the year with chakli, karanji, shankarpali and ladoo. The calendar notes moonrise at 5:09 am that morning. Amavasya begins at 8:48 pm on the 28th and lasts until 7:06 pm on the 29th, and Lakshmi puja is done in the evening after that.

Padwa marks the start of the business year for many traders, who open new account books (rojmel pujan). Wives perform aukshan (aarti) for their husbands. On Bhaubeej sisters do the same for their brothers. In 2027 Bhaubeej falls on a Sunday.
