Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat
Hindu festivals are tied to a specific Tithi, not a fixed date — so the day shifts every year and even varies slightly across cities.
Open the Panchanga for the festival day to see the exact Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and Shubh Muhurat for pooja in your location.
The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.
Personalised Astrology Around Festivals
Festivals are also a good time to look at your kundali — many families plan sankalp, donations or new beginnings around them.
Inside the app you can:
- Generate your personal Vedic kundali
- Talk to a Jyotisha for guidance around career, relationships or health
- Run kundali matching before fixing a marriage during the festival season
All of this is available inside the Dharmayana app — no fixed schedule, use it whenever you need it.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Basava Jayanti in 2027?
Basava Jayanti 2027 falls on Sunday, 9 May 2027.
What is Basava Jayanti?
Marks the birth of Basavanna (c.1106 CE), treasurer to the Kalachuri king Bijjala I and the voice behind Kannada's vachana poetry. Falls on Vaishakha Shukla Tritiya — the same day as Akshaya Tritiya — and is a public holiday in Karnataka, where his shrine at Kudalasangama draws week-long crowds.
Why is Basava Jayanti observed?
Basavanna's signature was the Anubhava Mantapa — a 'hall of experience' he convened at Kalyana where weavers, cobblers, washerwomen and Brahmins debated Shiva as equals. Akka Mahadevi and Allama Prabhu were among its voices. Out of this hall came the vachanas: short, plain-Kannada prose-poems, each signed with the mudra 'Kudala Sangama Deva' (Lord of the Meeting Rivers). Basavanna rejected temple idols and the sacred thread. In their place he gave followers the Ishtalinga — a small stone linga worn in a silver casket around the neck, making every wearer their own priest. His life was later set down in the Basava Purana, composed first in Telugu by Palkuriki Somanatha and retold in Kannada by Bhima Kavi in the 14th century. Kudalasangama, where the Krishna and Malaprabha meet, marks the site of his samadhi.
What are the other names for Basava Jayanti?
