One of the main Tamil Hindu festivals is Skanda Sashti, which is devoted to Lord Skanda. Kanda Shashti is another name for Skanda or Skanda Sashti. Skanda, also known as Murugan, Karthikeyan, Subramanya, and other names, is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is thought to have been created from sparks that emerged from the latter’s third eye. Skanda is regarded as Lord Ganesh’s elder brother in north India but his younger brother in south India. Skanda Sashti rejoices over Lord Skanda’s triumph over the demonic demons. Even though Skanda Sashti occurs every month, the Shukla Paksha Sashti that occurs in the Karthika lunar month is seen to be the luckiest of all.

2022 Soorasamharam Tiruchendur Skanda Sashti Viratham Dates

Lord Skanda is honored on Sashti Tithi. On the day of Shukla Paksha Sashti, devotees observe a fast. The day when Sashti Tithi and Panchami Tithi coincide is ideal for Skanda Sashti Vratam. So, it is possible to see Skanda Sashti Vratam on Panchami Tithi. Kanda Shashti is another name for Skanda Sashti.

The day for Skanda Sashti Vratam is chosen when Panchami Tithi ends or Sashti Tithi begins between sunrise and dusk because both Panchami and Sashti are conjugated at that time. Both Dharmasindhu and Nirnayasindhu cite this rule. The same practice is followed by numerous Murugan temples in Tamil Nadu, such as the well-known Sri Subrahmanya Swami Devasthanam in Tiruchendur. Soorasamharam day is commemorated one day before Sashti Tithi if the previous day’s Sashti Tithi is combined with Panchami Tithi.

Even though every Sashti is devoted to Lord Murugan, the Shukla Paksha Sashti in the lunar month of Kartika (also known as Aippasi or Karthikai in the solar calendar) is the most important. The six-day fast, which ends on Soorasamharam day, is observed by devotees. Tiru Kalyanam is the day after Soorasamharam.
