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 Navami Shraddha in 2027?
Navami Shraddha 2027 falls on Friday, 24 September 2027.
What is Navami Shraddha?
Navami Shraddha is also called Matru Navami, and in some traditions Avidhava Navami — the day for departed mothers and other female ancestors, particularly married women who died while their husband was still living. It follows the fortnight's tithi rule, kept for anyone who died on a Navami, but is most closely tied to the women of the family.
Why is Navami Shraddha observed?
The name Avidhava — "not widowed" — marks out women who predeceased their husbands, distinguishing this rite from shraddha for women who outlived their spouse and died widowed. In practice, the day is used more broadly to honour a mother, grandmother, sister or other female ancestor of the family, alongside anyone who died on a Navami tithi. The ritual keeps the fortnight's standard form: tarpan with water and black sesame offered facing south, a ring of darbha grass worn during the rite, pind daan, and a meal served to brahmins, usually arranged by the eldest son.
Which prarthanas are recited on Navami Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Navami Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
