Jitiya Vrat 2024: Jivitputrika Vrat is also known as Jitiya which is a significant fasting ritual observed by mothers wishing for the longevity, success, and health of their children. It is considered one of the more challenging fasts, as participants refrain from consuming food and water, making it a Nirjala Vrat (waterless fast).
According to the Panchang, the Jitiya fast is typically observed on the Ashtami tithi of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Ashwin. The fast begins with the Nahay-Khay ritual, followed by the Paran ceremony. Both Nahay-Khay and Paran hold particular importance during the Jitiya Vrat.
According to experts, this year's Jivitputrika Vrat will commence on September 24, 2024, and conclude on September 26, 2024. The Ashtami tithi will begin at 12:38 PM on September 24 and end at 12:10 PM on September 25. Thus, according to the Udayatithi, the fast will officially start on September 24.
