::contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Yellow Sapphire (Pukhraj) is the gemstone associated with the planet Jupiter (Guru). It is believed to bring wisdom, prosperity, good fortune, and spiritual growth. However, to gain maximum benefits, the gemstone must be selected and worn following proper astrological guidelines.

Step-by-Step Process to Wear Yellow Sapphire

Select an auspicious day
Choose a genuine and suitable gemstone
Prepare the ring properly
Purify the gemstone
Perform worship and wear

1. Auspicious Day to Buy & Wear

Thursday is the most suitable day for Yellow Sapphire, as it is governed by Jupiter. Preferably choose a day during Shukla Paksha (waxing moon phase).

Avoid Rahu Kaal timing
Favorable Nakshatras: Pushya, Punarvasu, Vishakha, Purva Bhadrapada
Morning time is considered ideal

2. Choosing the Right Yellow Sapphire

Select a natural, untreated, and certified Yellow Sapphire with:

Bright yellow color
Good clarity (minimal inclusions)
Smooth and well-cut surface

Recommended weight is generally 5 to 7 carats (or as per astrologer). Avoid stones with cracks, dullness, or cloudy appearance.

3. Ring Preparation

The gemstone should be set in gold for best results. Ensure the back of the ring is open so that the stone touches the skin.

It is usually worn on the index finger of the right hand.

4. Purification Process

Before wearing, purify the ring by:

Placing it in raw cow milk for 30–60 minutes
Rinsing with clean water or Ganga Jal

5. Worship & Wearing Procedure

Place the ring on a clean yellow cloth. Perform a simple puja with:

Flowers
Incense (agarbatti)
Sandalwood paste

Chant the Jupiter (Guru) mantra:

"Om Graam Greem Graum Sah Gurave Namah"

(Chant 108 times)

After chanting, wear the ring on your index finger. Offering water to the Sun (Surya) afterward is considered beneficial.

Important Guidelines

Always consult a qualified astrologer before wearing Yellow Sapphire
Wear only natural and certified gemstones
Proper selection is more important than rituals alone
