Madhva Navami
On Magha Shukla Navami in 1317 CE, Madhvacharya is said to have vanished under a shower of flowers while teaching the Aitareya Upanishad at Udupi's Ananteshwara temple. His followers call it a 'disappearance', not a death — they hold that he simply returned to Badarikashrama to rejoin his guru Vyasa.

About
The Udupi traditions trace most of their ritual life to this one acharya. Madhvacharya is said to have rescued a sinking Dwarka merchant ship off Malpe beach and accepted only a lump of gopi-chandana (sacred clay) in payment. The clay broke open to reveal a small standing Krishna holding a churning rod — the deity now worshipped at the Udupi Sri Krishna Matha. Thirty disciples could not lift it; only Madhva could, and he composed the twelve-verse Dvadasha Stotra while carrying it home. He then set up the Ashta Mathas — eight monasteries whose pontiffs still rotate Krishna's worship in turn under the Paryaya system. Counted as the third avatar of Vayu after Hanuman and Bhima, he is believed by Madhvas to still be at Badari with Vyasa, which is why this day is observed without the usual death rites.

Prarthana, Mantras & Vrat Katha

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.
