What is Poorattathi Nakshatra?

Poorattathi's lord is Jupiter (Guru). Its first three padas fall in Kumbam and the fourth in Meenam. Those born under Poorattathi 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 Poorattathi star day?

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