Prarthana, Mantras & Vrat Katha
Every festival has its own prarthanas, stotras and vrat kathas. Reading or listening to them on the festival day is the simplest way to observe the tradition at home.
Inside the Dharmayana app you can listen to:
- 1000+ prarthanas, mantras and stotras with clear audio
- Festival-specific kathas — Lakshmi, Durga, Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna
- Multilingual versions: Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and more
Browse the full collection of prarthanas or get the app to play them on the festival morning without ads.
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 Gudi Padwa in 2027?
Gudi Padwa 2027 falls on Wednesday, 7 April 2027.
What is Gudi Padwa?
Gudi Padwa opens the Chaitra Shukla Pratipada new year in Maharashtra and Goa with a bamboo pole topped by an upturned copper pot, bright silk, neem and mango leaves — the gudi — hoisted on the right of the doorway at sunrise and lowered before dusk the same day.
Why is Gudi Padwa observed?
The day is one of the saadeteen muhurtas — the three-and-a-half tithis (with Akshaya Tritiya, Vijayadashami and half of Bali Pratipada) so auspicious that no separate timing is needed to start anything new. It also rolls over the Samvatsara, a 60-year Jovian cycle in which each year carries its own name; panchangas publish a fresh Mantri Mandala for it, a 'cabinet' of planets assigned roles like Raja and Mantri to forecast rain, crops and prices. The first food of the day is a small bite of tender neem leaves with jaggery or mishri — bitter taken before sweet, accepting both flavours of the year ahead. Folk memory links the raised gudi variously to Brahma's act of creation on this tithi, Rama's return to Ayodhya, and Shalivahana's victory over the Shakas.
Which prarthanas are recited on Gudi Padwa?
Brahma Stotram and Navagraha Shloka are recited on Gudi Padwa. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
