In the Sanatan tradition, before doing any auspicious work, worship, starting a new business or setting out on a journey, it is considered extremely beneficial to consider the five major parts of the Panchang – Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karan. According to the Hindu calendar, today is the fifth day of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month of Vikram Samvat 2083.
Kartik month is considered the best month for bathing, charity and lamp donation in Sanatan Dharma. Today is Friday, which is very fruitful for the worship of Goddess Lakshmi and planet Venus.

Directional: on friday west direction I remain disoriented. This means that one should avoid traveling long distances towards the west today.
-
Avoidance (Measures): If it is necessary to travel in the west direction, then before leaving the house, look at your face in the mirror, eat some curd or sweet kheer and leave only after meditating on Goddess Lakshmi.
Today, due to the coincidence of Kartik month with Friday, joint worship of Mother Mahalakshmi and Lord Vishnu gives special results. Lighting a cow ghee lamp near the main entrance of the house and near the Tulsi plant in the evening brings happiness, peace and prosperity in the house. Donating white items (like rice, milk, sugar or white clothes) strengthens the planet Venus in the horoscope.
