Month by month
What is Punarpoosam Nakshatra?
Punarpoosam's lord is Jupiter (Guru). Its first three padas fall in Mithunam and the fourth in Kadagam. Rama was born under Punarpoosam; Sri Rama Navami follows the Navami , so it does not land on this star every year. Those born under Punarpoosam 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 Punarpoosam star day?
The monthly Punarpoosam is not a fast day. For those born under Punarpoosam 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 Rama shrine is all it asks.
- Bathe in the morning and light the lamp at home
- An archanai at the Rama shrine, giving your name and star
- If you can, feed someone or give a small gift
Rama was born under this star, so many visit a Rama temple that day.
