Ganga Dussehra is considered one of the most auspicious festivals in Hinduism, believed to wash away sins and bring divine blessings. Celebrated every year on the Dashami Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Jyeshtha, this sacred occasion holds deep spiritual significance. In 2025, Ganga Dussehra will be observed on 5 June.
The holy city of Haridwar becomes a key pilgrimage spot during this time, as devotees gather to take a sacred dip in the Ganga and perform rituals like Pinddaan and Tarpan.
According to astrologer Pandit Shridhar Shastri from Haridwar, donating food, clothes, and daily essentials to the poor based on your zodiac sign can help balance planetary influences and invite the grace of Ganga.
Aries and Scorpio
Pandit Shastri advises natives of Aries and Scorpio to bathe in the Ganga in Haridwar and perform religious rituals. Afterwards, they should donate red-coloured items such as red flowers, fruits, or clothes to the poor. This helps resolve planetary issues and brings the full benefits of the festival.
Taurus and Libra
People with Taurus or Libra as their zodiac sign should donate white-coloured items like garlands, clothes, fruits, or daily-use articles. Doing so is believed to pacify all planets and attract the blessings of Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, and Mother Ganga.
Gemini and Virgo
Governed by Mercury, natives of Gemini and Virgo should donate green items such as fruits, vegetables, or green clothes to those in need. Feeding green fodder to cows is also considered especially beneficial and brings the lasting blessings of Mother Ganga.
Cancer
Ruled by the Moon, Cancer natives are advised to bathe in the Ganga and perform rituals. They should also donate white-coloured items like milk, curd, rice, white clothes, or even pearl necklaces. This is believed to strengthen the Moon’s influence and promote favourable planetary outcomes.
Leo
The ruling planet of Leo is the Sun. Those under this sign should donate red and yellow items such as pomegranates, gram lentils, bananas, mangoes, or clothes in these colours. Such acts are believed to please the Sun and draw blessings from all planets.
Sagittarius and Pisces
Both signs are ruled by Jupiter. On Ganga Dussehra, their natives should donate yellow items such as sweets, fruits, flowers, or clothing. Strengthening Jupiter’s position in the horoscope can help remove the negative impact of other planets and bring significant positive results.
Capricorn and Aquarius
Ruled by Saturn, people under these signs should donate black or blue clothes, mustard oil, iron utensils, black urad dal, or black sesame seeds after bathing in the Ganga and offering prayers. These actions are believed to remove planetary problems and usher in happiness, prosperity, and wellbeing.
