Answer 1

Dhanur masa-Marghazhi
The month Marghazhi (December-January) derives its name from the star Mrigasirsha occurring on or immediately after the month’s Pournami (Purnima - full moon). It is also known as Dhanur masa since during this month the sun transits through Dhanur rasi (Sagittarius). Vedas and agamas say mornings in this month are ideal for worship of the Lord. Krishna underlines its special nature by saying in Bhagavad Gita that among months he is Marghazhi, due to it's Jayanti this month. In temples all over India during this month there is special pre-dawn worship. Since this month is set apart exclusively for worship, the month is considered as –Soonya masa - inauspicious for events like marriages and other such functions are not performed in Marghazhi. The shaivite composition Thiruvembavai and the vaishnavite Thiruppavai are particularly recited during this month.
In Hindu Mythology we set off certain days or months for celebrating gods only and these are considered inauspicious for other functions. Apart from Dhanur Masa considered as Shoonya Masa. The birth Tidies of Rama on Nava and Krishna on Asthma are celebrated for them only and these tidies are inauspicious for other functions and attempting for any good deeds. -
