Chitragupta Puja, or Chitragupta Jayanti, is performed by some communities in North India on the second day of the Shukla Paksha of the month of Kartik. The most popular festival of Chitragupta Puja will come after Diwali. This time it is being celebrated on 6th November.
According to Hindu legends, Chitragupta is considered the keeper of the books of account, which contain the database of all the good and bad deeds performed by human beings during their stay on earth. This day is also called Yama Dwitiya and Yamraj, the god of death is also worshipped.
Importance of Chitragupta Puja
Devotees believe that worshiping Lord Chitragupta on the second day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik (second fortnight according to Hindu mythology) will help them to get his blessings.
Lord Chitragupta keeps an eye on the actions of each individual and judges the lives of living beings on the basis of their deeds. It is he who decides whether a particular soul should be rewarded with Nirvana (end of life cycle and end of worldly problems) or punished for their evil deeds.
Worship Method of Chitragupta Puja
Wash the idol of Lord Chitragupta with water and bathe it with rose water. Light a lamp of ghee and place it in front of the idol. Prepare Panchamitra using curd, milk, honey, sugar and ghee.
Now offer sweets and fruits as prasad. Now you need to make Gudai which is prepared by mixing jaggery and ginger. To make a swastika symbol on the ground, take a paste of abir, vermilion, turmeric and sandalwood.
Place some rice on the swastika and place a urn of water on the swastika. Read the holy book of Chitragupta Puja. Post the katha, perform aarti with camphor, sprinkle rice on the idol and offer flowers. Now take a plain new paper and make a swastika with Roli-Ghee.
