Jamai Sasti
Held on Shukla Shashthi of Jyeshtha (May–June), this Bengali-Odia day is really a prayer to Goddess Shashthi — guardian of children — disguised as a feast for the son-in-law. The mother-in-law fans him, ties a yellow thread on his wrist, and asks the goddess to bless her daughter with offspring.

About
Shashthi, whose name simply means "the sixth," is the Bengali folk goddess of childbirth. She rides a cat and is shown nursing infants; her shrines are often just a red stone or earthenware pot under a banyan tree, called a shashthitala. Bengal even has a literary subgenre, the Shashthi-mangal, devoted to her exploits. Jamai Sasti folds her worship into a family meal. The mother-in-law's lavish treatment of the jamai — fanning him with a hand-held pankha, dabbing curd and sandalwood on his forehead — is a coded plea for grandchildren through her daughter. Historically it also gave a married daughter, otherwise tied to her in-laws' home, one guaranteed visit each year. The thali is fixed by custom: shukto (bitter vegetable stew), begun bhaja (fried aubergine), luchi, aloor dom, and mishti doi to finish.

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.
