Shri Tailang Swami Jayanti
Marks the birth of the naked avadhuta of Varanasi (1607–1887), the Telugu-born yogi whom Sri Ramakrishna hailed as a living Paramatma. Falling on Pausha Shukla Ekadashi — the same Rohini-nakshatra day he was born — devotees gather at his Kashi math on the Ganges to honour him.

About
The name 'Trailanga' simply marks his origin — the Telugu-speaking Trailanga country of Andhra, from where he wandered north and settled in Varanasi around 1737. Stories of his siddhis are specific, not vague: sitting motionless for hours on the scorching stone of Manikarnika Ghat, drinking poison unharmed, and floating on the Ganges for long spells. In old age he kept the Ajagara-vritti — the 'python vow' — lying still while devotees poured abhisheka water over him from dawn till noon. Sri Ramakrishna met him at Kashi and is said to have fed him nearly 25 kg of pudding in one sitting. When he died on 26 December 1887, his body was not burned but given Jala-samadhi in the Ganges, as Dashanami sannyasis are. Paramahansa Yogananda later carried his story west in 'Autobiography of a Yogi'.

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.
