- Best Day: Amavasya (New Moon Day) or Saturday

- Time: Start the vrat early morning during Brahma Muhurta (approx. 4:00–5:30 AM)

- Sankalp: “Om Mahakaalaya Namah, Rahave Namah, I undertake this vrat to receive divine blessings for a happy and timely marriage.”

Once, a devoted Brahmin named Raghunath was troubled by endless delays in his marriage. Seeking help, he approached a wise sage who advised him to worship Lord Mahakaal and chant Rahu mantras on Amavasya. Following the guidance, Raghunath observed a strict vrat with devotion.

On the vrat day, he bathed and cleaned his surroundings, then lit a lamp before the Shiva lingam. He offered bel leaves, black sesame seeds, and black gram as prasad. Reciting the mantra “Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Rahave Namah” 108 times, he prayed for Rahu’s blessings to remove obstacles.

By evening, a divine calm descended. The next day, Raghunath received a marriage proposal that fulfilled his heart’s desire. This demonstrates Mahakaal and Rahu’s combined power to bless sincere devotees.
