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.

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 Raja Sankranti in 2027?
Raja Sankranti 2027 falls on Tuesday, 15 June 2027.
What is Raja Sankranti?
Raja Parba marks the three days when Bhudevi — the Earth goddess — is believed to menstruate before the monsoon. From Mithuna Sankranti in mid-June, Odias halt all ploughing, digging and even barefoot walking. Girls swing on rope swings tied to mango trees and sing Raja geeta.
Why is Raja Sankranti observed?
The festival's name comes from 'rajas', the Sanskrit word for menstruation. For three days the earth is treated as a menstruating woman who needs rest, so cooking on grinding stones, tilling, and walking barefoot are all stopped. The day before, called Sajabaja, is spent cleaning the grinding stones and pounding spices in advance. Unmarried girls wear new saris, paint their feet red with alata (a lac dye), and are freed from housework — mirroring the rest given to the earth. The signature food is poda pitha, a rice-and-jaggery cake slow-baked overnight. On the fourth day, Vasumati Snana, the household grinding stone stands in for Bhudevi: women bathe it in turmeric water, dress it with flowers, and offer seasonal fruits — the goddess's ritual bath after her period.
What are the other names for Raja Sankranti?
Raja Sankranti is also known as Mithuna Sankranti and Raja Parba.
Which prarthanas are recited on Raja Sankranti?
Prithvi Gayatri Mantra and Bhoomi Vandana are recited on Raja Sankranti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
