Nautapa 2026 Highlights: Nautapa has started from today i.e. 25th May 2026. According to astrological calculations, Sun God will enter Rohini Nakshatra today at 3:37 pm. After this, the Sun will remain in this constellation till 1:33 pm on June 8, 2026.
In religious and folk traditions, the entry of the Sun into Rohini Nakshatra is considered extremely important, because the first 9 days of this period are called Nautapa. It is believed that during these days the heat on earth reaches its peak and its direct impact is seen on weather, health and the coming monsoon.
The word Nautapa itself means nine days of heat. In Indian astrology and folk tradition, it is believed that when the Sun enters Rohini Nakshatra, the effect of the Sun’s rays on the Earth becomes more intense. This is the reason why heat wave, strong sunlight and increase in temperature are seen during this period. In many areas people also associate it with signs of rain. It is said that if Nautapa warms well, then the monsoon also gets better later on.
How long will the effect of Nautapa last?
This time the effect of Nautapa will be from 25 May to 2 June 2026. Meteorologists are also predicting the possibility of heatwave and intense heat in many states of North India. It is being advised to take special care when going out in the afternoon. Children, elderly and pregnant women need to take special care. To ensure that there is no shortage of water in the body, adequate quantity of water, lemonade, buttermilk, coconut water and seasonal fruits should be consumed.
From religious point of view also the time of Nautapa is considered special. During this period, the importance of worshiping Sun God, donating water and donating matka increases. It is believed that donating cold water, umbrella, fruits and earthen pitcher to the needy during Nautapa brings virtue. During this time, many people offer Arghya to the Sun in the morning and also chant Aditya Hriday Stotra and Gayatri Mantra.
According to astrology and religious texts, Nautapa is not only a sign of weather change, but it is also considered to be a time associated with the balance of nature and the energy of life. This is why in India for centuries, Nautapa has been seen not just as summer but as an important phase of seasonal change.
