The tenth month of the Hindu calendar, Paush, is about to begin. This month holds a tradition of worshiping the Sun God, and offering water, Arghya to the Sun is considered highly virtuous.

Paush Month 2024: The tenth month of the Hindu calendar, Paush, will be observed from December 16, 2024, to January 13, 2025. According to ancient scriptures, worshipping the Sun during this month is believed to increase longevity. Each month prescribes a unique form of Sun worship, and in Paush, the Sun is venerated as Bhag. This month holds special significance for Sun worship.

Traditionally, people take holy dips in rivers like the Ganga, Yamuna, Alaknanda, Shipra, Narmada, Saraswati, and the confluence at Prayagraj. Pilgrimage visits, fasting, charity, and devotional practices are emphasised. Rituals performed during this sacred month are believed to yield multiplied spiritual merits, and fasting and charity are especially fruitful.

During Paush, it is customary to worship Lord Vishnu in his Narayan form and offer water to the rising Sun. Worshipping Surya Narayan during this time is said to remove all troubles. It is also recommended to wake up early, bathe, and mix Ganga water in your bath. Meditating on sacred rivers and pilgrimages while bathing at home is thought to bestow the spiritual benefits of a pilgrimage.
