Paush Month 2025: Paush Month, the tenth month of the Hindu calendar, will begin on 5 December 2025 and conclude on 3 January 2026. Falling between the winter months of Margashirsh and Magh, this period is deeply associated with the worship of Surya Dev. Scriptures highlight Paush as a spiritually powerful month where devotion, discipline and charity bring strength, clarity and well-being.
According to the Skanda Purana, those who worship Surya Dev and observe fasts on the Shukla and Krishna Paksh Saptami during Paush receive freedom from ailments and progress in life. Surya Dev, one of the Panchadev and the only deity visible directly to human eyes, is believed to remove darkness and strengthen resilience when worshipped sincerely in this month.
During Paush, the Sun transits through Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi), which is why auspicious ceremonies are generally avoided. However, spiritually, the month is considered extremely beneficial for prayers, charity and personal discipline.
