Significance of the day
Ravi is the Sun, lord of Sunday. When Puṣya, the eighth of the twenty-seven nakṣatras, meets the Sun's weekday, the pairing is listed among the auspicious yogas. Ravi Puṣya marks a good time, not a festival, and carries no story or set worship of its own.
Pañcāṅga rule and reckoning
- How the day is fixed: Two things are checked at local sunrise: the weekday must be Sunday, and the running nakṣatra must be Puṣya. Tithi, pakṣa and month play no part.
- Keep in mind: Puṣya returns roughly once a month and must coincide with a Sunday sunrise, so the yoga appears only on a handful of Sundays in a year. A Puṣya that starts later in the morning does not make the Sunday count.
- This year: The 2026 date shown here is worked out from sunrise at the place you chose, so in another city the same day can fall a day earlier or later.
Worship and observances
- A favourable Sunday: Households that consult the pañcāṅga before beginning things note Ravi Puṣya as a good day. Nothing is prescribed for it, and whatever a family does on this Sunday comes from its own practice.
- Worth remembering: The word yoga here names the pairing of Sunday with Puṣya. It is not the daily yoga printed in the pañcāṅga, and it is not the same as Guru Puṣya, which needs a Thursday.
Family custom and ācāra
Some families keep an eye out for Ravi Puṣya, and for others it is simply another Sunday. The surest guide is the way the elders of one's own house have kept the day.
