About Naga Karan
Name: "serpent"
Naga is the last of the fixed Karans in the lunar cycle, occurring once per month at the very end of the waning fortnight, immediately before Kimstughna opens the next month at Shukla Pratipada.
It is treated as inauspicious for new undertakings — its position at the dissolution point of the lunar month is part of the reasoning. Its constructive uses are narrow and specific: worship of the Nagas, and practices concerned with hidden or subterranean things, including work connected with minerals.
Suitable during this Karan
- Naga Puja and serpent worship
- Practices concerning hidden knowledge
- Work connected with minerals and the earth's depths
Traditionally avoided
- New beginnings of any kind
- Marriage, Griha Pravesh and auspicious ceremonies
- Journeys
