This day occurs once in every sixty years, and is so rare that it has come to be used in a proverbial sense as an improbable event (similar to a blue moon).
The following six events are:-
a) Bhadrapada Maasa
b) Shashti (sixth day of Krishna Paksha)
c) Tuesday
d) Moon Joined with Rohini Nakshatra
e) Sun in Hastha Nakshatra
f) Vyathipata Yoga
all occuring during daytime.
In India, this Yoga is from 6:20 AM to 6:50 AM.
It last occured back on October 12, 1912.
It is also believed that the holy Saraswathi river appears only on that particular time and visible from the southern conduit of the Gomukh spout.
There is a legend to the effect that sage Narada was longing for married happiness, was transformed into a woman and bore sixty sons, one in every consecutive year. At the tend of that time, having implored Lord Vishnu for retransformation, he again became a man, and the 60 sons were appointed regents of the years of the sixty years’ cycle, at the beginning of which Kapila Shashti occurs. These 60 years cycle also synchronize with the cycle of Brhuspathi (Jupiter).
