Bhadra Kaal on Karwa Chauth: What You Need to Know

Bhadra Kaal is considered unlucky in Hinduism. You shouldn’t perform rituals or start anything important during this time. For Karwa Chauth 2024, Bhadra Kaal lasts for only 22 minutes, from 6:24 AM to 6:46 AM. It’s best to avoid any puja or new activities during this period.

Why Avoid Puja During Bhadra Kaal?

In Hindu beliefs, time is divided into good and bad periods. If you do rituals during Bhadra Kaal, it could bring bad results. Bhadra’s position, especially the neck or heart facing the earth, is seen as a bad sign. So, it’s important to avoid puja during this time to prevent any negative effects.

If you’re worried about Bhadra Kaal, there are ways to reduce its effects. Some people believe that if Bhadra’s tail is facing the ground, the time might not be so bad. Praying to Lord Shiva during Bhadra Kaal is also a good way to protect yourself from its negative influence.
