What is ‘Nautapa(Nautapa)

‘Nautapa: The entire North India and North West including Delhi, UP, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh are burning with intense heat these days. In most parts, the temperature has crossed 45 and people are getting scorched by the heat. Here, when the whole country is burning with intense heat and heat wave, Nautapa is becoming increasingly viral on social media. After all, what is Nautapa and what is the story behind it…today we will tell you about it.

What is the viral message?

According to the viral message, “If the heat wave does not blow for the first two days of Nautapa (Nautapa) , there will be a lot of rats. If it does not blow for the next two days, there will be a lot of Katra (insects that damage crops). If the heat wave does not blow for two days from the third day, the eggs of locusts will not be destroyed. If there is no heat for two days from the fourth day, the bacteria that cause fever will not die. After this, if the heat wave does not blow for two days, then Vishwar i.e. snakes and scorpions will go out of control. If it does not blow for the last two days also, there will be more storms, which will destroy the crops.”

What is Nautapa and when did it start?

This year Nautapa has started from 25 May and it will end on 2 June. During the Nautapa period, the rays of the sun fall directly on the earth and people have to face strong sunlight. Nautapa begins as soon as Rohini Nakshatra arrives and people have to face scorching heat. However, the farmer community considers it right.

According to Indian astrology, when the Sun enters the Rohini constellation and stays for 9 days, it is called the Nautapa period. The Nautapa period comes in the end of May and the first week of June.

Farmers wait for Nautapa….

Farmers wait for Nautapa to arrive. They believe that if Nautapa heats up a lot, then it will rain heavily. A proverb says – Tapai Navtapa Nav Din Joy, To Pun Barkha Pooran Hoye. However, science does not believe in Nautapa.

The heat, humidity and heat waves are now becoming unbearable for people. Nautapa has also started from 25 May, which will last till 2 June. During this time, the heat will set new records every day.
