Kajari Teej
The 'big' Teej of the three monsoon Teejs — falling fifteen days after Hariyali Teej on the dark-fortnight Tritiya of Bhadrapada, three days after Raksha Bandhan. The fast breaks only after sighting the moon, and Bundi in Rajasthan marks the day with a state procession of Parvati on a palanquin.

About
The name comes from kajri — the monsoon folk-song tradition of eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, sung by women through the rainy night about a wife's longing for her absent husband. In Mirzapur and Banaras, these songs are a genre in their own right. Because the festival falls in the waning fortnight, women wait out a long fast and break it only when the moon is sighted — unlike Hariyali Teej, which sits on a waxing third. In some regions it is called Satudi Teej, after the 'satudi' or sindhara gifts of sweets, bangles and clothes sent by a woman's parents to her marital home. Rajasthan adds its own layer: in Bundi, the idol of Teej Mata is paraded with camels, elephants and folk dancers performing Ghoomar, Kalbeliya and Bhavai.

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.
