Roop Chaudas 2025: Rituals, Remedies & The Glow of Inner Beauty
As the festival of Diwali approaches, each day holds a unique spiritual significance. One such sacred day is Roop Chaudas 2025, also known as Narak Chaturdashi 2025. While many celebrate it as a day for beauty care, its essence is far deeper. Roop Chaudas represents cleansing the body, purifying the aura, and renewing one’s inner energy. It’s a day to remove darkness and negative vibrations before welcoming the light of Diwali.
The Spiritual Significance of Roop Chaudas
Roop Chaudas, the fourteenth day of Krishna Paksha in the month of Kartik, marks the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon Narakasura. This triumph of good over evil is why the day is also called Narak Chaturdashi. It signifies freedom from negativity, fear, and confusion — preparing us for the light and positivity of Diwali.
Celebrating Roop Chaudas is not only about beauty rituals but about spiritual rejuvenation — aligning the body, mind, and soul with divine energy.
Abhyang Snan: The Sacred Purification Bath
The main ritual of Roop Chaudas 2025 is the Abhyang Snan, performed before sunrise. People massage their bodies with sesame or mustard oil before bathing. According to tradition, this practice is believed to remove evil influences, purify the aura, and invoke divine blessings.
Benefits of Abhyang Snan:
- Purifies energy channels and strengthens immunity.
- Improves circulation, leaving the skin radiant.
- Symbolically washes away fatigue, worry, and past negativity.
- Attracts good health and fortune before Diwali.
Abhyang Snan is considered the most auspicious act of Roop Chaudas — it’s a blend of physical cleansing and spiritual awakening.
Ubtan: The Ancient Glow Ritual
Traditional Ubtan is an integral part of Roop Chaudas’ beauty rituals. Made from gram flour, turmeric, sandalwood, and rose water, Ubtan brings a natural glow to the skin.
But beyond skincare, applying Ubtan is symbolic — it removes emotional dullness and helps you reconnect with your inner peace.
In ancient times, women believed that Ubtan enhanced both outer beauty and inner calmness. Even today, using these natural ingredients on Roop Chaudas 2025 is a powerful way to blend beauty with spirituality.
Deepdan: Lighting the Lamp of Positivity
Lighting diyas (lamps) during Roop Chaudas rituals is known as Deepdan. It is believed that Deepdan removes “Narak” — symbolic of negativity, fear, and ignorance.
Each diya you light carries a prayer — for clarity, purity, and divine blessings. Lighting lamps not only decorates your home but also illuminates your soul.
It’s said: “The one who lights a diya brightens their own path of destiny.”
The Mirror Ritual: Reflecting Inner Beauty
One unique tradition of Roop Chaudas is looking into a mirror on this night. Spiritually, the mirror represents truth and self-reflection.
When you see your face, you’re invited to recognize your inner beauty, courage, and light.
True beauty, according to the scriptures, is not just what the eyes see — it’s the radiance that comes from peace, gratitude, and self-awareness.
