Rabindranath Tagore Jayanti
Marked in Kolkata as Poncheeshe Boishakh — the 25th of Boishakh — this is the only Indian birth anniversary that splits the calendar: West Bengal keeps the Bengali date (8 or 9 May), while the rest of India fixes it to 7 May. The day belongs to Rabindra Sangeet recitals.

About
Tagore was born on 25 Boishakh, 1268 of the Bengali Era, at the Jorasanko Thakurbari in Calcutta. Because West Bengal follows the Bengali calendar and other states follow the Gregorian, the same anniversary is often observed on two separate days — 7 May outside Bengal, 8 or 9 May inside it. The recitals draw on a remarkably specific corpus: the roughly 2,000 songs he composed, now called Rabindra Sangeet, plus dance-dramas like Chitrangada and verses from Gitanjali, the 1910 collection that won him the 1913 Nobel — the first for any non-European. The day also carries a political memory. Britain knighted Tagore in 1915; he gave the title back in 1919 to protest the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, and that act of refusal is read aloud at many gatherings.

Festival Pooja & Pandit Booking

Want a Pandit-led pooja for this festival at home, or online if you live abroad? Dharmayana connects you with verified Pandits for all major Hindu festivals — Diwali, Navratri, Shivratri, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi and more.

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.
