Sita Jayanti
Sita Navami marks Janaki's birth from a furrow — not a womb. Tradition places it on a Tuesday in Pushya Nakshatra, on Vaishakha Shukla Navami, exactly one month after Rama Navami. Married women fast through the day for their husbands' long life.

About
The story: King Janaka of Mithila was ploughing a field to consecrate a Yajna when his plough struck a golden casket holding an infant girl. Because a ploughed furrow is called 'sita' in Sanskrit, he named her Sita; because he adopted her, she is also Janaki, and the festival is sometimes called Janaki Navami. Lore in the Ramayana frames her as a joint descent of Lakshmi and Bhumi Devi, the earth goddess — which is why she returns into the earth at the epic's close. The vrat is a suhag fast: wives pray for their husband's longevity, echoing Sita's devotion to Rama. Observance is strongest at her reputed birthplaces — Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi, Bihar, and the Janaki Mandir at Janakpur in Nepal. Note: this is separate from Janaki Jayanti, which falls on Phalguna Krishna Ashtami.

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.
