Know about Naupata, are these the hottest days of the year
Because, the sun rays fall directly on the earth and stay for a longer time. During Nautapa, the day is about 14 hours long. Farmers and astrologers waiting for the monsoon believe that if Nautapa is very hot then it rains heavily that year. That is why these nine days are considered very special.
This time, along with the Sun, the position of other planets will also be special during Nautapa. Due to which sudden changes in the weather will also be seen.
Navpta in the eyes of astrology
According to astrology, Nautapa will be from 25 May to 2 June. The word “Nautapa” is made up of two parts – “Nav” meaning nine days, and “Tapa” meaning to heat or burn. When the Sun enters the Rohini constellation in Taurus, it is considered to be a very hot and influential time. With the Sun entering this constellation, the heat will be at its peak during this time. According to astrological calculations, its effect will be visible everywhere.
Nautapa will begin on 25 May 2025 at 3:15 am, when the Sun will enter the Rohini constellation. Nautapa will end on 8 June 2025, when the Sun will enter the Mrigasira constellation. Offering Arghya, worshiping and donating to the Sun God is considered auspicious during Nautapa.
