On Paush Purnima the Devi Bhagavata's Hundred-Eyed Mother — Shatakshi — is said to have shed nine days of tears to end a 100-year drought, then manifested as Shakambhari, 'Bearer of Greens.' The day closes the only Navratri that begins on Ashtami, and altars are heaped with fresh produce.

About
The fuller story sits in Book 7, Chapter 28 of the Devi Bhagavata Purana. A demon named Durgama stole the Vedas, the rains failed, and the earth went a hundred years without harvest. The Mother appeared with countless eyes — Shatakshi — and wept for nine days, her tears running as rivers. She then bore grains, fruits and leafy vegetables from her own body to feed the starving, and finally killed Durgama, earning the name Durga. Today devotees pile the altar with seasonal greens and raw vegetables as naivedya (food offering), echoing that image. The goddess has two great seats: the Shakti Peetha at Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, where Adi Shankara is said to have installed the icons, and Sambhar in Rajasthan — the salt lake she is said to have gifted the Chauhan Rajputs in the 6th century, who took her as their clan deity.

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.
