Chhath Puja in Chennai

🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Celebrating Chhath in Chennai on 11th August 2026 is spiritually significant. On this day, Surya Dev will be in his own sign, Simha, bestowing immense vitality. However, Shani Dev will be retrograde in Kumbha, aspecting the Sun. This creates a powerful 'Sama-Saptaka' alignment—demanding deep discipline and purity during your rituals. Chandra will be transiting in Vrishabha, ensuring emotional stability for your prayers. To invoke protection, offer 'Arghya' with pure water and a pinch of kumkum to the rising sun, chanting the *Surya Gayatri Mantra* eleven times. May your devotion bring prosperity and radiant health to your family. Jai Ho!
