Chatur Masa – Dadhi Vrata

Dadhi means Yogurt, curd, or mosaru. Dadhi vrata in Chatur Masa starts from Today Putrada Ekadashi to ends September 6th. During this month all food items using curd are avoided.

You can use butter milk instead of Curd. The Dadhi vrata ends on the Shukla Paksha Ekadasi in Bhadrapad masa.

So, starting tomorrow you can offer any fruit, dry fruit and coconut as naivedya. I had a tough time just offering Mangoes and Candy Sugar as naivedya daily.

I am excited to offer all types of fruits, dry fruits, coconut and also other food items starting tomorrow daily and for Upakarma, Shravana Friday’s, Rayaru Aaradhane and Krisha Janmastami.

Hope you all have a great remainder of Shravana Festival season.

And here are the slokas to recite from UM Panchanga:

ಶಾಕವ್ರತ ಸಮರ್ಪಣ

ಶಾಕವ್ರತೇನ ದೇವೇಶ ಪ್ರಸನ್ನೋ ಭವ ಮಾಧವ
