Third Purattaasi Sani This Saturday Oct 3: Temple Timings + Navarathri Day 2 Preview
The third Purattaasi Saturday falls on October 3 — the day after Navarathri begins — as Tamil Nadu observes both the weekly Vishnu fast and the Goddess festival simultaneously for the first time this season.
Why this matters to Tamil Nadu
October 3-4 is the most festival-dense weekend of the Tamil calendar this year — Purattaasi Sani on Saturday and Navarathri Day 2 on Saturday-Sunday overlap in the same two-day window. For Tamil families, this weekend combines temple visits for Lord Vishnu with Golu viewing for the Goddess, creating a unique dual religious obligation. Searches for both 'third Purattaasi Sani date' and 'Navarathri Golu visiting hours' peak simultaneously this week — making an early guide essential for planning the weekend.
