The Vishweshwara Vrat is a notable celebration honoring Lord Shiva, also known as Lord Vishweshwara. This year’s celebration will be held on Thursday, November 14, 2024.
Celebrated on the day of Pradosh Vrat during the sacred Bhishma Panchak, it maintains a significant position in the Hindu calendar, especially for devotees in Karnataka, home of the famed Yelluru Shri Vishweshwara Temple.
This vrat provides a unique chance for spiritual growth and veneration for Lord Shiva, with themes of devotion, sacrifice, and heavenly benefits.

Offering coconut water or coconut oil to the Shiva Linga is a fundamental rite followed by devotees at the temple. This donation is very symbolic, since it is thought that the coconut oil is used to keep the lights burning endlessly within the temple, symbolizing Lord Shiva’s continual blessings and divine presence. Devotees also do this rite to honor the miraculous occurrence involving Kunda Raja and Lord Shiva’s arrival.
Significance
Vishweshwara Vrat is commemorated on the third day of Bhishma Panchak, a five-day fasting and prayer period before the holy Kartika Purnima. Bhishma Panchak is a particularly holy time in Hindu tradition, commemorating the conclusion of the month of Kartika and covering a number of significant events. Among these is the Tulsi Vivah, a rite that commemorates the celestial union of the sacred plant Tulsi and Lord Vishnu.
The day after Vishweshwara Vrat is known as Vaikunth Chaturdashi, another holy celebration honoring Lord Shiva. On this day, devotees seek spiritual purity and heavenly benefits by performing the sacred Manikarnika Snan (ritual washing) at the holy river Ganga’s ghats.
On Thursday, November 14, 2024, believers get ready for Vishweshwara Vrat, a day to honor Kunda Raja’s unshakable devotion and ask Lord Shiva for his blessings. Worshippers reaffirm their dedication to spiritual development by committing their hearts and minds to the divine via prayers, fasting, and offerings. This vrat serves as a reminder of the strength of faith, unselfish dedication, and the unbreakable tie between humans and the divine because of its rich history and customs.
