Shabari Jayanti
Shabari Jayanti marks the tribal ascetic whose meeting with Rama, at the Matanga hermitage by Pampa Lake, is told in Aranya Kanda of Valmiki's Ramayana. Observed on Phalguna Krishna Saptami (Magha in the Amanta calendar), it honours the moment Rama accepts food from a Nishada woman.

About
The much-loved image of Shabari biting each berry first to make sure it is sweet does not actually appear in Valmiki's Ramayana — that detail is a later addition from the Padma Purana. In Valmiki's telling (Aranya Kanda, sarga 74), Shabari simply gathers ripe fruits and roots from around Pampa Lake for Rama. What Valmiki does stress is the company she keeps: commentators read Rama's visit alongside his welcome of Guha the boatman and the sceptic sage Jabali as proof that he is sarva-samah — the same to all, regardless of birth. After serving Rama, Shabari asks leave to join her gurus, the disciples of Sage Matanga, and ascends to heaven by her own inner light. On this day devotees read these sargas and the Padma Purana episode.

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.

You can book:

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.
