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 Sakat Chauth in 2027?
Sakat Chauth 2027 falls on Monday, 25 January 2027. Chaturthi tithi runs from 08:10 AM, 25 Jan to 06:00 AM, 26 Jan IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Sakat Chauth?
The Magha-month Sankashti Chaturthi, kept mainly in North India by mothers fasting from sunrise to moonrise for their sons' long life. Its signature offering — til (sesame) pounded with jaggery into a mound or laddoo — gives the day its other name, Til-Kuta Chauth.
Why is Sakat Chauth observed?
Two kathas anchor the day. In the first, a potter cannot get his kiln to fire and, on a priest's advice, the king orders each family to offer a child to the flames; an old woman's son is saved when she prays to Sakat Mata, and the goddess's compassion gives the fast its meaning. The second tells of two sisters-in-law and Ganesha, where the younger one's honesty is rewarded. The fast is broken only after sighting the moon and offering arghya. Sakat Mata has her own shrine in Sakat village, Rajasthan, near Alwar. The alias Vakra-Tundi Chaturthi invokes Ganesha's curved-trunk form, while in Maharashtra the same tithi is observed as Lambodara Sankashti Chaturthi.
What are the other names for Sakat Chauth?
Sakat Chauth is also known as Til-Kuta Chauth, Vakra-Tundi Chaturthi and Maghi Chauth.
