Suvarna Prashan Dates 2026: Complete Pushya Nakshatra Calendar :
Suvarna Prashan dates (Swarna Prashana Sanskar) is one of the sixteen traditional Ayurvedic samskaras described in classical Ayurvedic texts. It involves administering purified gold processed with herbal preparations, ghee, and honey under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
According to Ayurveda, administering Suvarna Prashan during Pushya Nakshatra is considered especially auspicious. Pushya Nakshatra is associated with nourishment, immunity, wisdom, and healthy development. Because it occurs approximately once every month, many parents schedule their child’s Suvarna Prashan on these days.
Although classical Ayurvedic texts describe the formulation and benefits of Suvarna Prashan, the exact timing based on Pushya Nakshatra comes from Panchang calculations. Timings vary slightly depending on city and geographical location, so always confirm your local Panchang before administration.

What is Suvarna Prashan?
Suvarna Prashan is an Ayurvedic pediatric immunomodulatory practice mentioned in the classical text Kashyapa Samhita. The formulation traditionally contains purified gold (Suvarna Bhasma), ghee, honey, and selected herbs suitable for children.
It is administered under medical supervision and is often chosen by parents as part of a holistic child wellness program.
Why is Pushya Nakshatra Preferred?
Pushya Nakshatra is regarded in Vedic astrology as one of the most auspicious lunar constellations. The Sanskrit word Pushya means to nourish or strengthen.
Traditionally, it is believed to support:
- Healthy growth
- Learning and intellect
- Better immunity
- Physical development
- Positive mental well-being
- Spiritual nourishment
For this reason, many Ayurvedic physicians schedule monthly Suvarna Prashan clinics on Pushya Nakshatra.
