Kartik Snan Dates 2025: The month of Kartik begins on Wednesday, October 8th, on the second day of Kartik. Kartik is the eighth month in the Hindi calendar. Bathing and donating during this month brings blessings and cleanses sins. Bathing during this month bestows the blessings of Lord Vishnu. Therefore, people visit pilgrimage sites or holy rivers to perform Kalpavas and bathe, and donate. Let's learn about the beginning time, auspicious time, and dates for bathing and donating during the Kartik month.

Kartik month begins on Harshan Yoga, Ashwini Nakshatra, and Dwitiya Tithi.
This year, Kartik month begins on Wednesday, October 8th, on the second day of Kartik Krishna Paksha. Harshan Yoga and Ashwini Nakshatra are on the first day of the Kartik month. According to the Panchang, Kartik Krishna Paksha Pratipada Tithi begins at 9:16 AM on Tuesday, October 7th, and continues until 5:53 AM on October 8th.

As a result, Kartik Krishna Paksha Tithi is not available on the Udayatithi. On October 8th, Kartik Krishna Dwitiya Tithi coincides with the Udayatithi. Therefore, the month of Kartik begins on Kartik Krishna Dwitiya Tithi. On the first day of Kartik, Harshana Yoga prevails from early morning until 1:33 AM, followed by Vajra Yoga. Ashwini Nakshatra prevails from early morning until 10:44 PM, followed by Bharani Nakshatra.
