Abhyang Snan, also known as Diwali Snan or Narak Chaturdashi Snan, is a sacred oil bath ritual performed before sunrise to cleanse the body and aura before welcoming Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali. The ritual is observed during Brahma Muhurat and is believed to destroy negativity, promote health, and prepare one for the spiritual and material blessings of the Diwali season.

Abhyang Snan 2025 – Date and Muhurat

  • Date: Monday, 20th October 2025
  • Tithi: Amavasya of Kartik Month
  • Abhyang Snan Muhurat (Brahma Muhurat): 5:53 AM to 7:14 AM IST

What is Abhyang Snan?

  • A traditional oil bath ritual observed during the early morning hours before sunrise
  • Involves massaging the body with warm sesame oil or medicated herbal oils
  • Followed by a bath with ubtan (herbal paste) made of besan, turmeric, and sandalwood
  • It symbolizes the removal of tamasic (dark) energies and prepares the devotee to receive light, wisdom, and abundance
  • As per mythology, it commemorates Lord Krishna's victory over Narakasura, symbolizing the destruction of inner negativity

Rituals and Steps of Abhyang Snan

Preparation Before Sunrise

  • Wake up during Brahma Muhurat (around 4:30–5:30 AM)
  • Light a ghee diya in the bathroom or near the bathing area
  • Offer a silent prayer or intention for purification and peace

Oil Massage (Abhyanga)

  • Apply warm sesame oil from head to toe
  • Massage joints, soles, and scalp gently for nourishment and stimulation
  • Use herbal ubtan prepared from besan (gram flour), turmeric, rosewater, and a pinch of sandalwood

Holy Bath

  • Use lukewarm water, optionally infused with tulsi leaves or rose petals
  • Chant mantras like:
    “Om Narayanaya Namah”
    “Om Shree Mahalakshmyai Namah”
  • Visualize negativity washing away and divine light entering the body

Post-Snan Rituals

  • Wear clean or new traditional attire
  • Light a diya at the puja altar, Tulsi plant, and main entrance
  • Begin preparations for Lakshmi Puja or perform a short aarti if done early

Spiritual and Health Benefits

  • Cleanses the aura, removes inertia, and boosts spiritual energy
  • Enhances skin health, blood circulation, and joint flexibility
  • Brings a sense of calm, freshness, and centeredness
  • Aligns the body and mind with the spiritual frequency of Diwali

Regional Practices

  • Maharashtra & Karnataka: Performed on Narak Chaturdashi, the day before Lakshmi Puja
  • North India (2025): Since Narak Chaturdashi and Lakshmi Puja coincide on 20th October, Abhyang Snan is done on Diwali morning
  • Tamil Nadu & Andhra Pradesh: Observed as the main Deepavali Snan, followed by Lakshmi worship

Important Tips

  • Do not skip oil massage – It is considered inauspicious to bathe without oil on this day
  • Avoid sweeping or waste disposal after sunrise – Finish cleaning beforehand
  • Use herbal or ayurvedic products instead of chemical soaps to enhance the effect of the ritual
  • Women and men of all ages are encouraged to observe this tradition for physical and spiritual health
