The day is dedicated to Chitragupta, the official assistant of Lord Yama. This day is considered as Chitragupta's Birthday.Chitragupta, the first assistant of Lord Yama, is the one who keeps record of the good and bad deeds of human beings on earth. After death, when one reaches the abode of yama, it is he who tallies the good and bad deeds and declares it to Yama. Therefore, the day is dedicated to Chitragupta and devotees pray to him to forgive their sins. There is only one temple in South India for Chitragupta at Kancheepuram. Another important event associated with Chitra Pournami, involves Lord Indra, the king of Gods, and his Guru Brihaspati.
