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.

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
When is Sharad Navratri Saptami in 2027?
Sharad Navratri Saptami 2027 falls on Wednesday, 6 October 2027.
What is Sharad Navratri Saptami?
Day seven turns to Kalaratri, the fiercest of the nine forms — dark-complexioned, three-eyed, her hair loose, riding a donkey. Despite her frightening appearance she is called Shubhankari, the auspicious one, protecting devotees from fear and darkness. Jaggery is offered as bhog, and grey, the colour that holds both storm and calm, marks the day.
Why is Sharad Navratri Saptami observed?
She takes her dark form when Parvati sheds her skin to become Kaushiki in the battle against the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha, and it is in this fierce shape that she drinks the blood of Raktabija before it can touch the earth and multiply him further. Flames are said to rise from her breath, yet two of her hands stay raised in reassurance and blessing even as the other two carry a sword and an iron hook. Tradition connects her to the Sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head, the point of spiritual awakening. Her shrine sits in the Kalika Galli lane of Varanasi, close to the Vishwanath temple.
Which prarthanas are recited on Sharad Navratri Saptami?
Kalaratri Mantra and Kalaratri Gayatri Mantra are recited on Sharad Navratri Saptami. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
