  • It is on this day that Sudama (Kuchela) visited Srikrishna carrying Avalakki with the intention of asking something.    But could not ask anything with Sri Krishna.
  • The significance of the three and half auspicious days is that there is no need to look for auspicious time. Each second on the day is highly auspicious. The day is chosen for marriages, house warming, opening of new business and shops and for making investment in property and valuable items like gold, platinum, diamonds etc.
  • As per traditional Hindu astrology, the Sun (Surya) and Moon (Chandra) are astrologically believed to be at their most exalted position on the day.
