Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat

The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

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 Shravana Somavara - Panchami in 2027?
Shravana Somavara - Panchami 2027 falls on Monday, 16 August 2027.
What is Shravana Somavara - Panchami?
A fifth Shravan Monday is unusual — most years hold only four. It appears in regions that count Shravan by the solar calendar (Nepal, parts of Uttarakhand and Himachal) or when an Adhik Maas stretches the month. For Solah Somwar observers, it marks the one-third mark of the 16-Monday vow.
Why is Shravana Somavara - Panchami observed?
The 16-Monday vow, or Solah Somwar Vrat, is the engine driving this day. Tradition holds that Parvati herself kept it to win Shiva as her husband — which is why the vow is traditionally begun on the first bright-fortnight Monday of Shravan, the month most beloved to him. A fifth Shravan Somwar puts a devotee five Mondays into that 16-week count. In Shiva temples, each Monday a 'Dharanatra' — a perforated pot hung above the linga — drips water onto it without pause, day and night. North Indian kanwariyas time their Kanwar Yatra to climax on a Shravan Monday, carrying Ganga water on a shoulder-pole to bathe the linga at dawn. The Skanda Purana's Shravana Mahatmya, framed as a dialogue between Shiva and Sanatkumara, is the scriptural anchor for these observances.
Which prarthanas are recited on Shravana Somavara - Panchami?
