Soorasamharam, also called Skanda Sashti or Kanda Sashti, is one of the most important Hindu festivals celebrated in South India, mainly in Tamil Nadu. The six-day Kanda Sashti festival is celebrated to cherish the victory of Lord Murugan, the god of war, over a demon called Surapadman, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Devotees observe fasts, special prayers, and rituals during this period, often participating in elaborate temple ceremonies and processions.
According to various Drik Panchang, Soorasamharam 2025 falls on October 27, 2025 on Monday.
Shasti Tithi Begins: 6:04 AM on October 27
Shasti Tithi Ends: 7:59 AM on 28 October
On Skanda Sashti, devotees observe a six-day fast during Skanda Sashti, and only fruits or water. When the festival concludes, they visit Murugan temples and offer flowers, fruits, coconuts, and milk to the deity. The next day, called Thirukalyanam, is the day celebrated for the wedding of Lor Murugan/Skanda with Deivayanai.
The Kanda Sashti fast begins on 22 October 2025 and continues for six days, with each day featuring pujas, abhishekams, and alankarams (Decorations). The festival will conclude on 27 October with Soorasamharam re-enactment on the beach, offering a unique spiritual experience as thousands witness the victory over Surapadman.
