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 Sharad Navratri Panchami in 2027?
Sharad Navratri Panchami 2027 falls on Monday, 4 October 2027.
What is Sharad Navratri Panchami?
Day five is for Skandamata, Parvati shown as a young mother with baby Kartikeya seated on her lap, riding a lion. Her four arms carry lotuses along with the infant, and one hand offers reassurance in Abhaya mudra. Bananas are offered as bhog, and the day's colour is yellow, standing for warmth, brightness and maternal care.
Why is Sharad Navratri Panchami observed?
She earns her name — mother of Skanda — after the birth of Kartikeya, born to defeat the demon Tarakasura, who could only be killed by Shiva's son. Once Kartikeya was born and armed with the divine weapon Shakti, Parvati's role as his nurturing mother became a form of worship in itself; she is also called Padmasana for her lotus seat. Tradition places her at the Vishuddha chakra in the throat, governing clear and truthful speech. She is worshipped at the Skandamata Durga shrine in Varanasi, and her blessing is sought especially by parents for the wellbeing of their children.
Which prarthanas are recited on Sharad Navratri Panchami?
