Hariyali Amavasya
The Shravana new-moon when Vrindavan dresses its Banke Bihari in a Phool Bangla — a pavilion built entirely from fresh monsoon flowers. Three days before Hariyali Teej, devotees throng Mathura's Dwarkadhish and Vrindavan for this darshan, while Rajasthan and Haryana mark the day by planting saplings.

About
The Phool Bangla at Banke Bihari is the day's signature sight. Through Sawan, the deity is enthroned inside a fresh canopy of roses, jasmine and marigolds — rebuilt daily by sevayats — and Hariyali Amavasya is when it draws the largest crowds. In Mewar, Udaipur holds a three-day Hariyali Amavasya Mela on the banks of Fateh Sagar lake, a tradition begun in 1898 by Maharana Fateh Singh to mark the lake's completion; the first day is reserved for the royal family, the next two for the public. Across Rajasthan and the Gangetic plain, families plant peepal, banyan, neem or amla saplings — the new moon in the rain month is seen as the best soil-and-sky moment of the year. Shiva temples also draw worshippers, since the day falls in his sacred month of Sawan.

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

Hindu festivals — like Diwali, Navratri, Mahashivaratri, Holi and Janmashtami — mark sacred moments tied to deities, seasons and lunar/solar cycles. Each festival has its own story, vrat, prarthana and rituals, and is timed using the Panchanga so the date moves slightly every year against the Gregorian calendar.
