Kanya Pujan 2026: Dates, Time, When To Perform Rituals, Do's And Don'ts
NDTV Profit 1 hr ago·17 Oct 2026, 3:00 am
Kanya Pujan, also known as Kumari Puja, is a traditional Hindu ceremony observed every twelve years when Jupiter completes a full orbit in the zodiac sign of Leo. In 2026 the auspicious dates fall in early June, with the main ritual scheduled for June 5 and a secondary observance on June 12, each timed to a shubh muhurat (favourable time) determined by astrologers.
The event often triggers a short‑term boost in consumer activity, especially in gold, jewellery and festive‑wear retail, as families purchase items for the puja and related celebrations. Traders may see higher volumes in these sectors and a modest lift in overall market sentiment. Investors should monitor sector indices and trading patterns around the puja dates for any noticeable shifts.
