Dasha Mata festival is special for women and is celebrated every year on the tenth day of the Krishna Paksha in the Chaitra month. On this day, women worship the peepal tree, believing it represents Lord Vishnu, and they pray for their families’ prosperity. Women also wear a unique white thread during this time.
Dasha Mata Puja Date & Shubh Muhurat
In 2024, this festival falls on April 4th, with the Dashami Tithi starting on April 3rd at 6:30 PM and ending on April 4th at 4:14 PM. Women can perform the worship of Dasha Mata during this period.
The festival is celebrated with enthusiasm, especially in North India, Central India, and Western India. It has various traditions, and the story behind the fast is linked to King Nal and Queen Damayanti. During Holi, a maid informed Queen Damayanti about Dasha Mata’s worship. She followed the advice, tying a white thread during her worship. However, the king misunderstood the thread, removed it, and threw it away. That night, the king dreamt of Dasha Mata, who revealed his future challenges. The king faced unfortunate events, leading to the end of his rule. The next year, Queen Damayanti observed the fast again, acknowledged her mistakes, and sought the goddess’s blessings through proper worship. Since then, the festival of Dasha Mata has been celebrated.
