Valentine's Day 2026: Valentine's Day is celebrated every year on 14 February. It is celebrated as a festival of love. This is a traditional Christian festival, which is celebrated all over the world on 14 February. On Valentine's Day, lovers spend time together. Express their love to each other. Give gifts to each other. This strengthens the love relationship.

The colors of Valentine's Day can be seen in India too, but this day is far from love. The story of this day is as romantic as it is considered to be, but in reality it is equally dark. This day is linked to the death of Saint Valentine. It is prohibited in Sanatan Shastras to celebrate 14th February as Valentine's Day. In such a situation, let us know as per the religious scriptures, on which day should the people of Hindu religion celebrate Valentine's Day?

According to religious scriptures…

Pundarik Maharaj told during a story that according to the scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, people of Hindu religion should celebrate Valentine's Day on the day of Sharad Purnima. Every year, the full moon day of Shukla Paksha of Ashwin month is celebrated as Sharad Purnima. Not only this, Pundarik Maharaj told that according to the scriptures, people of Hindu religion should celebrate Mahashivratri as Father's Day. Since Shiva is seen as a father.

Celebrate Mother's Day and Friendship Day in these days

Pundarik Maharaj told that Navratri days should be celebrated as Mother's Day. Hindu New Year starts from Chaitra Navratri. Hariyali Teej should be celebrated as Environment Day. The appearance of Hanuman ji should be celebrated as Friendship Day. Because it was Hanuman ji who established such friendship between Lord Shri Ram and Monkey King Sugriva, which people remember even today and which is immortal in the pages of history.
