What is Bharani Nakshatra?

Bharani's lord is Venus (Sukran) and its rasi Mesham. The Bharani Deepam, lit before dawn at Tiruvannamalai on Karthigai Deepam day, carries its name. The Bharani in Mahalaya Paksham is Maha Bharani, a prized day for tharpanam to the ancestors. Those born under Bharani 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 Bharani star day?

The monthly Bharani is not a fast day. For those born under Bharani 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

On Maha Bharani, in Mahalaya Paksham, tharpanam for the ancestors is especially valued.
