Kolkata, November 2025 — The Kartik Puja 2025 date time tithi has been outlined according to the Bengali Panjika, helping devotees across West Bengal prepare for one of the most important Hindu observances of the Kartik month. This annual worship of Lord Kartik is especially significant for families seeking blessings for children’s well-being, prosperity and protection.
Kartik Puja 2025 Date as Per Bengali Panjika
The Bengali Panjika mentions the Kartik Puja 2025 date as Monday, 17 November 2025, which corresponds to 30 Kartik, 1432 in the Bengali calendar. Traditionally performed on the last day of the Kartik month, this date is considered spiritually favourable among Bengali devotees.
Kartik Puja 2025 Time and Tithi
According to the Panjika, the Kartik Puja 2025 time and tithi include two shubh muhurat periods. The first favourable timing begins at 5:08 PM and ends at 6:48 PM. A second auspicious interval is marked between 8:15 PM and 10:11 PM.
Both time windows are regarded as spiritually powerful moments for performing the puja and seeking divine blessings from Lord Kartik.
Significance of Kartik Puja in Hindu Tradition
Kartik Puja is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology. Lord Kartik — also known as Skanda or Kartikeya — is honoured as the commander of the celestial army. Mythological texts describe his victory over the demon Tarakasura, a battle in which even the devas were unable to succeed.
This legendary triumph represents courage, protection, discipline and divine strength, making Kartik Puja a cherished tradition in Bengali households.
Rituals and Practices Followed During Kartik Puja
Panjika-guided rituals begin with cleaning the puja space and placing a red cloth on a small platform. An idol or image of Lord Kartik is set at the altar along with atap rice, durba grass and a decorated puja ghat prepared using mango leaves and a coconut.
Devotees arrange incense sticks, lamps, flowers and homemade offerings before reciting the prescribed mantras dedicated to Lord Kartik. The puja concludes with arati and distribution of prasad, believed to bring peace and prosperity to the home.
Tulsi Puja and Household Traditions
The Panjika also highlights the importance of Tulsi Puja on the same day. Families perform Tulsi worship in the morning and light a ghee lamp near the Tulsi altar during the evening.
A widely practiced tradition includes placing a peacock feather — offered during the puja — near a child’s study area, which is believed to promote educational success and good fortune.
Preparations for Kartik Puja Across the State
With the Kartik Puja 2025 date time tithi confirmed by the Panjika, households across West Bengal have begun their preparations. Markets are seeing increased demand for puja items, flowers, ghee lamps and ritual essentials. Families are arranging their puja spaces early to ensure that the rituals are performed at the correct auspicious time.
This year too, devotees are expected to observe Kartik Puja with deep devotion, seeking blessings for family harmony, prosperity and spiritual well-being.
