Mythological belief is that Chitragupta was born on the second day of Shukla Paksha of Kartik month, hence Lord Chitragupta is worshiped on this day every year to commemorate his birth. According to Hindu mythology, Chitragupta was born from the mind of Lord Brahma. Chitragupta is considered to be an assistant of Yamraj. Chitragupta is also called the accountant of the gods.
What is the mythological belief?
Chitragupta is also worshiped for many other reasons. According to mythological belief, Yamraj, pleased with the hospitality of his sister Yamuna, had given her a boon: Whoever visits his sister’s house on the day of Bhai Dooj or Yam Dwitiya, applies tilak on her forehead and eats food prepared by her, he will not have to fear untimely death. Since Chitragupta is the assistant of Yamraj, he is worshiped on the day of Bhai Dooj. Lord Chitragupta keeps an account of the deeds of all living beings with the help of pen and inkpot. Therefore, pens, inkpots and ledgers are also worshiped on this day. Those who worship Chitragupta on this day attain knowledge, intelligence, courage and writing skills. Besides, there is also a possibility of progress in their business.
