In the year 2025, Kalashtami Jayanti will be celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion. This event is also known as Kala Ashtami or Kaal Bhairav Ashtami. Lord Kaal Bhairav is a highly revered deity known for his protective and powerful nature, often associated with dispelling negativity and evil.

The most significant Kalashtami, also known as Kaal Bhairav Jayanti, falls in the month of Margashirsha according to the North Indian lunar calendar. According to legend, it is believed that Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Bhairav on this very day.
In the year 2025, according to the Drik Panchang, Kala Ashtami will be observed on Friday, October 10th. This auspicious day is also known as Yashoda Jayanti, and it holds great significance in the Hindu community. Devotees are advised to wake up early and take a bath before sunrise, followed by cleaning their homes with gangajal and wearing neat and clean clothes.
