What is Avittam Nakshatra?

Avittam's lord is Mars (Sevvai). Its first two padas fall in Magaram and the last two in Kumbam. Aavani Avittam, the day the sacred thread is changed, carries its name, though its day follows the Aavani full moon and does not land on Avittam every year. Those born under Avittam use these dates for an archanai on their birth-star day each month. Each date here is the day the star holds at midday; when it holds at two middays running, both days are shown.

What can you do on Avittam star day?

The monthly Avittam is not a fast day. For those born under Avittam it is the birth-star day that comes round once a month: a visit to the temple and a janma nakshatra archanai in their own name and star at the shrine of your chosen or family deity is all it asks.

  • Bathe in the morning and light the lamp at home
  • An archanai at the shrine of your chosen or family deity, giving your name and star
  • If you can, feed someone or give a small gift

Where your family does it differently, follow your family.
