Hal Shashthi 2025: Halashti, also known as Lalahi Chhath or Balram Jayanti, is a special fast and festival in Hinduism. It is celebrated on the Shashthi Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada month. On this day, Lord Krishna's elder brother Balram ji is worshipped, who is called Haldhar because his main weapon was the plow. Mothers keep this fast for the long life, happiness, and prosperity of their children. On this day, the fasting person should not eat any food produced from ploughing. This year, Halashti will be celebrated on Thursday, August 14. According to the Panchang, Shashthi Tithi will start at 4:23 am on August 14 and end at 2:07 am on August 15.

Halashti Puja Vidhi
By worshipping Halshasthi Vrat, children get happiness and a long life. On this day, wake up early in the morning, take a bath, and wear clean clothes. If possible, brush your teeth with Mahua. Purify the place of worship with Gangajal and spread a clean cloth on a stool. Place an idol or picture of Lord Krishna and Balram Ji on the stool.

Include sandalwood, flowers, garland, roli, akshat, durva, basil, fruits, sweets, mahua, and pasai rice (rice grown without a plow) in the worship material. Also, keep some children's toys. Offer sandalwood, flowers, and bhog to God. Use curd and ghee made from buffalo milk; do not take cow milk. Read or listen to the story of Halashasthi, then do the aarti of Balram Ji and Shri Krishna.

Food produced by plowing is forbidden.
This fast has some special rules, which are considered necessary to be followed. Do not eat grains like wheat or rice from fields plowed by a plow on this day. Eat pasai rice or grains without plowing. Do not take cow milk, curd, or ghee, but eat buffalo milk or products made from it. Avoid eating greens. Do not walk on land plowed by a plow. Maintain satvik behavior throughout the day, avoid lying or abusive words, and chant the name of Balram ji.

These are the benefits of fasting.
Halshasthi fast is very special for the long life, health, and happiness of children. It is believed that Balram ji, who is the incarnation of Sheshnag, is a symbol of power and religion. By keeping this fast, children get protection from disease, fear, and evils. This fast can be fruitful for those who do not have children. Happiness, peace and prosperity come in the family.
