Shashti Viratham is a sacred fasting day dedicated to Lord Murugan, observed on the sixth day (Shashti Tithi) after Amavasya and Pournami every month. Devotees observe fasting and special poojas on this day to seek Murugan’s divine blessings for courage, wisdom, and protection from negativity. The most significant of these is Skanda Shashti, which commemorates Lord Murugan’s victory over the demon Surapadman.
