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.

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 Chaitra Navratri Saptami in 2027?
Chaitra Navratri Saptami 2027 falls on Tuesday, 13 April 2027.
What is Chaitra Navratri Saptami?
Day seven of Chaitra Navratri belongs to Kalaratri — the form Parvati took after shedding her golden skin to kill the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. She is dark, three-eyed, and rides a donkey. Devotees offer jaggery, the only prasad of the nine days that matches her colour.
Why is Chaitra Navratri Saptami observed?
Her name splits into kala (time, or death) and ratri (night) — the night that ends time itself. Yet the texts also call her Shubhankari, 'doer of good', because her two free hands hold the abhaya (fear-not) and varada (boon-giving) mudras even as the other two grip a cleaver and a torch. Astrologically she governs Shani (Saturn), so Saptami prayers are aimed at lifting Saturn-related troubles. The Saptami worship also draws on the Devi Mahatmya episode where Kali, her close cognate, drank the blood of Raktabija mid-air to stop each drop spawning a new demon. That is why the day's offerings lean dark: jaggery, black sesame, urad dal — colour standing in for the goddess herself.
Which prarthanas are recited on Chaitra Navratri Saptami?
Kalaratri Mantra and Kalaratri Gayatri Mantra are recited on Chaitra Navratri Saptami. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
