FAQs

Devotional darśana at an auspicious time (tithi) yields sustained well-being, showing the power of bhakti joined with sacred calendrics.

The promise is tied to the Goddess’ presence “here” in the kṣetra described in the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra Māhātmya.

Perform darśana (devotional viewing) of the Goddess on Caitra Śukla Aṣṭamī with sincere devotion.
