New Delhi, April 29: Each day holds its significance and auspicious moments according to Hindu traditions. April 30 is particularly special as it marks Narasimha Jayanti and Chhinnamasta Jayanti, both falling on a Thursday.
On this day, the date is Chaturdashi, and after 9:12 PM, the full moon will appear. However, the day will also witness the influence of Bhadra and Rahukal, which are considered inauspicious.
Thursdays are dedicated to Lord Vishnu, and devotees typically offer yellow garments to the deity while performing fasts and rituals for the fulfillment of their wishes.
