बुधाष्टमी

aṣṭamī tithi on a Wednesday is as sacred as a solar eclipse.

अमावस्या तु सोमेन सप्तमी भानुना सह।
चतुर्थी भूमिपुत्रेण सोमपुत्रेण चाष्टमी।
चतस्रस्तिथयस्त्वेताः सूर्यग्रहणसन्निभाः॥

गोविन्द-पन्त-हत्या #२६३

Event occured on 1760-12-20 (gregorian).

On this day, in the lead up to Panipat, the Marathas suffer a major setback as their veteran revenue collector Govind Pant, who was in charge of an extremely critical & strategic role, is killed in an overwhelming attack led by Atai Khan, the Durrani Wazir’s nephew.

खूलना-हत्या #७४

Event occured on 1949-12-20 (gregorian).

The District Superintendent of Police arrived in Kalshira (in Khulna) accompanied by armed police contingent and the paramilitary Ansars and attacked Kalshira and other neighbouring Hindu villages mercilessly. They encouraged Muslims from neighbouring villages to loot the Hindu properties. A number of Hindus were killed, men and women were forcibly converted. Images were broken and shrines were desecrated. All the 350 homesteads in the village, except three, were demolished. The cattle and boats were forcibly taken away. Within a month of the massacre 30,000 Hindus fled from Khulna to India.

Context: The previous day, four police constables raided the house of one Joydev Brahma in the village of Kalshira under Mollahat police station in Bagerhat sub-division in the district of Khulna, in search of some suspected communists, late in the night. Failed to find any suspects the constables tried to rape the wife of Brahma. Her cry alerted him and his companions, who in a desperate bid to save her attacked two constables, one of whom died on the spot. The remaining two raised an alarm and the neighbouring people came to their rescue.

कुचेल-दिनम्

Celebrated especially in Kerala/Guruvayur. Commemorates the incident of Kuchela visiting Lord Krishna. Offer naivedyam of pr̥thukam.

Details

महाधनुर्व्यतीपात-श्राद्धम्

vyatīpāta is regarded as the king of yōgas. Though it occurs 13 times every year, the occurrence in dhanurmāsa is special, and this day is special for a number of special observances, such as śivapūjā, pitr̥tarpaṇam etc. One must also give arghyam with the shloka mentioned here, and perform the usual (dhanurmāsa) naivedyam of mudgānnam. Markandeya Rishi has performed upadesham of a year-long vratam, beginning this day, including the pūja of vyatīpata-dēvatā. Puranas also narrate the story of rich merchant names Vishwasakha, who was born as a wild boar owing to denying food to a hungry vipra on Vyatipata day. Having lost half his body to a forest fire, the boar was redeemed from this plight by the Raja Haryashva, who passed by, and gave away his accrued merits from vyatīpāta-snāna-dānam. As a result of this, the wild boar attained a divine form.

व्यतीपात महाबाहो सर्वपापप्रणाशन।
सहस्रबाहो विश्वात्मन् गृहाणार्घ्यं नमोऽस्तु ते॥

प्रलय-कल्पादिः

Observed on Śukla-Navamī tithi of Mārgaśīrṣaḥ (lunar) month (Aparāhṇaḥ/vyaapti).

pralaya-kalpādiḥ is observed on this day. Performing śrāddha on this day gives akṣayatr̥pti to pitrs. Although there are 30 Kalpadis described in various puranas, 7 of them are particularly special.

अथ कल्पादयो राजन्कथ्यन्ते तिथयः शुभाः।
यासु श्राद्ध कृते तृप्तिः पितॄणामक्षया भवेत्॥
(३० कल्पादयः प्रदिष्टाः)
—हेमाद्रौ नागरखण्डे
ब्रह्मणो यद्दिनादर्वाक्कल्पस्यादिः प्रकीर्तितः।
वैशाखस्य तृतीयायां कृष्णायां फाल्गुनस्य च॥
पञ्चमी चैत्रमासस्य तस्यैवान्या तथा परा।
शुक्ला त्रयोदशी माघे कार्तिकस्य तु सप्तमी॥
नवमी मार्गशीर्षस्य सप्तैताः संस्मराम्यहम्।
कल्पानामादयो ह्येता दत्तस्याक्षय्यकारकाः॥
—मत्स्यपुराणे
