October 16 marks a significant day for devotees across India as it brings with it the auspicious occasion of Kojagara Puja (Lakshmi Puja) coinciding with Sharad Purnima. However, the day also observes Shukla Chaturdashi, which falls under the Ashubh Muhurat, considered inauspicious for most significant activities.
According to Drik Panchang, the Chaturdashi Tithi concludes at 8:40 PM, giving way to the Purnima Tithi, which lasts until 4:55 PM the following day. The auspicious Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra graces the day until 7:18 PM, followed by the equally auspicious Revati Nakshatra. The moon resides in Meena Rashi, while the Sun remains in Kanya Rashi.
Kojagara Puja Nishita time: 11:42 PM on October 16 to 12:32 AM on October 17.
