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
When is Dwitiya Shraddha in 2027?
Dwitiya Shraddha 2027 falls on Friday, 17 September 2027.
What is Dwitiya Shraddha?
This day of the fortnight is kept for ancestors who died on a Dwitiya tithi, in any Hindu month. No separate tradition attaches to it beyond the general rule; the family performing shraddha here follows the same tarpan and pind daan observed on every other day of Pitru Paksha.
Why is Dwitiya Shraddha observed?
Also known as Dooj Shraddha, this day carries no separate tradition of its own — its place in the fortnight rests purely on the tithi rule established on Pratipada. The observance follows the shared pattern: tarpan offered with water and black sesame, seated facing south with a ring of darbha grass worn on the hand, pind daan presented to the ancestors, and a meal served to invited brahmins before the family eats. The eldest son usually conducts the rite on behalf of the household, invoking the departed by name and lineage.
Which prarthanas are recited on Dwitiya Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Dwitiya Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
