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 Ekadashi Shraddha in 2027?
Ekadashi Shraddha 2027 falls on Sunday, 26 September 2027.
What is Ekadashi Shraddha?
Ekadashi Shraddha is kept for ancestors who died on an Ekadashi tithi, following the fortnight's general rule. No distinct category of ancestor or special custom is attached to this day beyond that; the family performs the same tarpan and pind daan observed through Pitru Paksha.
Why is Ekadashi Shraddha observed?
Ekadashi Shraddha, also called Gyaras Shradh, is observed with the same rites given to every ancestor through the fortnight. The karta bathes, wears a ring of darbha grass, and offers tarpan of water and black sesame while seated facing south. Pind daan follows, with rice-and-barley offerings made to the three preceding generations, and the day closes with a meal served to brahmins invited to stand in for the departed. The eldest son ordinarily performs the rite, invoking the ancestor by name where it is known, following the same order kept on every day of Pitru Paksha.
Which prarthanas are recited on Ekadashi Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Ekadashi Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
