Question 1

When is Devata Suvasini Puja observed?

Accepted Answer

Devata Suvasini Puja falls on Chaturthi, the fourth lunar day, of Shukla Paksha, the waxing fortnight, in Ashvina. The tithi current at sunrise governs the observance, so the Gregorian date changes each year. A local panchanga should be used for the civil date in a particular place.

Question 2

Who is worshipped during Devata Suvasini Puja?

Accepted Answer

The name suggests worship of Devi through a suvasini, conventionally an auspicious married woman whose husband is living. The exact deity or form of Shakti honoured under this title is not uniform enough to identify without a regional or family source.

Question 3

How is Devata Suvasini Puja performed?

Accepted Answer

A common form invites a married woman, offers respectful welcome, applies or presents turmeric and vermilion, gives flowers, incense, a lamp, fruit, and tambula, and may concludes with food or a gift. These are general Suvasini-puja practices, not confirmed universal requirements for this specific title.

Question 4

Is fasting required for Devata Suvasini Puja?

Accepted Answer

Fasting is not securely established as a compulsory rule for this observance. Some households may keep a partial fast or postpone food until the puja, while others simply perform worship and take ordinary vegetarian food. The governing requirement is the sunrise tithi, not a known universal fasting rule.
