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 Tara Jayanti in 2027?
Tara Jayanti 2027 falls on Wednesday, 14 April 2027.
What is Tara Jayanti?
Second of the ten Mahavidyas, Tara is honoured on Chaitra Shukla Navami — known as Tara-Ratri. The Swatantra Tantra places her birth beside the Cholana lake west of Mount Meru, where she took blue form as Nila-Saraswati to slay the demon Hayagriva.
Why is Tara Jayanti observed?
Tara's living centre is Tarapith in Birbhum, Bengal, on the Dwarka river — one of the few major Hindu temples where left-handed Tantric rites (the Panchamakara, or five forbidden offerings) are openly practised. The village is named for Sati's eyeball, 'tara' in Bengali, said to have fallen here; the primordial stone idol shows Tara suckling Shiva after the Halahala poison. Lore credits sage Vasishtha as her first sadhaka. Frustrated by ordinary worship, he is said to have learned the unorthodox 'Chinachara' (China-path) method and won her grace at Tarapith — which is why Tara is called Vasishtharadhita. She is worshipped in three linked forms: Ekajata, Ugratara and Nila-Saraswati, the last invoked for vak-siddhi, command over speech.
Which prarthanas are recited on Tara Jayanti?
Tara Devi Gayatri Mantra and Tara Kavacham are recited on Tara Jayanti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
