Chaturdashi Tithi (चतुर्दशी)

Krishna Paksha

Fourteenth lunar day - powerful and intense, sacred to Lord Shiva. Shukla Chaturdashi is generally favorable for Shiva worship. Krishna Chaturdashi is Maha Shivaratri (Phalguna month) - the most sacred night for Shiva devotees; also Naraka Chaturdashi/Chhoti Diwali (before Diwali). Brings transformation and spiritual power. Excellent for deep spiritual practices, meditation, and tantric rituals. Good for overcoming inner darkness. Marriage and joyful material celebrations avoided, especially in Krishna Paksha. The energy is intense and transformative.

Highly Favorable
•Shiva worship
•Spiritual transformation
•Deep meditation
•Tantric practices
Best Avoided
•Marriage (especially Krishna)

•Worldly celebrations
