The tithi of your birth is held especially auspicious for you — a day the tradition sets aside for worship, offering, and giving. When it returns each year, mark it thus:
Begin the day with darśana at your temple — a quiet return to the sacred before the day unfolds.
Offer a homa or yajña, however small — the fire that carries the household's prayers upward on your day.
Honour your chosen deity and your family's Kuladevatā and Kuladevī with pūjā, as the lineage has always done.
Close the day with dāna — food, cloth, or alms given freely, so that your good fortune passes to another.
