Narada Jayanti 2024 Date and timings:

According to Vedic Puranas and mythologies Devrishi Narada is not just a divine sage and messenger of Lord Vishnu, but also the universe's ultimate information hub. Imagine a celestial journalist with a special pass - Narada can freely roam the Akash (heavens), Prithvi (Earth), and even the Patal (underworld) to gather and share news amongst the gods. His timely updates, though sometimes causing a stir, are believed to ultimately serve the greater good of the universe.

A fervent devotee of Lord Vishnu, Sage Narada holds a special place for the deity's form known as Narayana. This form embodies the very essence of truth, a quality Narada deeply cherishes and seeks in his journeys throughout the universe.

There's a slight variation in how different regions celebrate Narada Jayanti based on their calendar systems. In North India (Purnimant calendar) Narada Jayanti is observed on the first lunar day (Pratipada Tithi) during the waning fortnight (Krishna Paksha) of the Jyeshtha month but In South India (Amavasyant calendar) People celebrate on the first lunar day (Pratipada Tithi) of the waning fortnight (Krishna Paksha) in the Vaishakha month. Even though the month names differ, both calendars mark Narada Jayanti on the same day.

Usually, Narada Jayanti falls next day of Buddha Purnima. Buddha Purnima and Narada Jayanti might fall on same day if Pratipada Tithi is skipped.
