What is Kettai Nakshatra?

Kettai's lord is Mercury (Budhan), and all of it lies in Viruchigam. Those born under Kettai 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 Kettai star day?

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