As every year, this time Yam Panchak will commence in the Karthik month on the 'Trayodashi' date, which falls on October 30, 2024. This day marks the birth anniversary of Dhanvantari, the founder of Ayurveda. There is a tradition that devotees donate lamps on this day for the protection of their family. The Trayodashi date will be valid until 1 AM, after which the Tithe of Chaturdashi will begin. Legend has it that donating lights on this day grants the blessings of Yamraj, the God of Death. The optimal time for this ritual is during sunset. The main intention of this day not only involves worshipping Dhanvantari but also includes praying for the family's happiness and safety. Additionally, there is a tradition of sacrificing a crow, which is regarded as the messenger of Yamraj. Ayurveda holds special significance in health, leading to the veneration of several therapeutic methods. Overall, this day reflects both religious and cultural values.
