About
Krittika Vratam is a monthly observance dedicated to Lord Skanda (Murugan, Kartikeya, Subramanya), celebrated on the day Krittika Nakshatra prevails. Because the Moon transits Krittika roughly every 27-28 days, this vratam recurs about thirteen times a year.
Krittika Nakshatra, ruled by the fire-god Agni, is closely linked to Kartikeya's own birth story: he was raised by the six Krittika mothers (the Pleiades), which is why he is also known as Shanmukha ("six-faced"). Devotees observe a fast on this day and offer prayers to Murugan seeking courage, protection from obstacles, and spiritual growth. Many temples dedicated to Murugan hold special abhishekams and poojas on Krittika days.
Lord Skanda / Murugan
Son of Shiva and Parvati, commander of the devas' armies, closely associated with Krittika Nakshatra through his birth story.
Krittika Nakshatra
Ruled by Agni, represented by a flame or razor; among the most auspicious nakshatras for worship of Kartikeya.
Monthly Recurrence
Recurs roughly every 27-28 days as the Moon transits Krittika Nakshatra, about thirteen times a year.
