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 Jamai Sasti in 2027?
Jamai Sasti 2027 falls on Thursday, 10 June 2027.
What is 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.
Why is Jamai Sasti observed?
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.
Which prarthanas are recited on Jamai Sasti?
Sarvamangala Mangalye Stotram and Gopal Santan Prapti Mantra are recited on Jamai Sasti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
