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 Vamana Jayanti in 2027?
Vamana Jayanti 2027 falls on Sunday, 12 September 2027. Dwadashi tithi runs from 07:36 PM, 11 Sep to 10:13 PM, 12 Sep IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Vamana Jayanti?
Vishnu's first human-form avatar — a dwarf Brahmin boy — appeared at midday on Bhadrapada Shukla Dwadashi. Unlike most Jayantis tied to a birth nakshatra, Vamana Jayanti is fixed to the Abhijit muhurta at noon, when Aditi is said to have given birth to him.
Why is Vamana Jayanti observed?
The day re-enacts a gift, not a battle. At King Bali's Ashwamedha yajna on the Narmada, the boy asked for just three paces of land. Bali's guru Shukracharya saw through the disguise and slipped into the spout of the water-pot to block the vow — Vamana pierced it with a blade of darbha grass, costing Shukracharya an eye (Bhagavata Purana 8.20). With the third step Vamana sent Bali to Sutala, a netherworld, but promised to stand guard at his door himself. This is why Vishnu is said to leave Vaikuntha during Chaturmasya. Worship is done at noon, not dawn: a small silver or gold idol holding a parasol, water-pot and staff is bathed, offered curd-rice, and the dakshina is given to a Brahmin boy — the giver, for one day, taking Bali's role.
What are the other names for Vamana Jayanti?
