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 Varuthini Ekadashi in 2027?
Varuthini Ekadashi 2027 falls on Sunday, 2 May 2027. Ekadashi tithi runs from 06:54 PM, 1 May to 07:52 PM, 2 May IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Varuthini Ekadashi?
The Vaishakha Krishna Ekadashi whose Mahatmya Krishna narrates to Yudhishthira in the Bhavishya Purana. Its name means 'armoured' — the fast is said to shield the observer with merit equal to ten thousand years of tapas, or to a gift of gold at Kurukshetra during a solar eclipse.
Why is Varuthini Ekadashi observed?
The vrat-katha's signature story is not Mandhata but King Dhundhumara of the Ikshvaku line, cured of leprosy — a curse laid on him by Shiva — by keeping this fast. Discipline begins a day early, on Dashami: the observer gives up grains, stays celibate, and is told to pass Ekadashi night awake in kirtan and scripture rather than sleep. The Bhavishya Purana lists very specific danas for the day — horse, elephant, land, sesame seeds — and singles out Kanyadana, the giving of a daughter in marriage. Misusing a daughter's wealth, the text warns in an unusually pointed line, condemns the offender to rebirth as a cat. Animals prayed for on this day are also said to be released from the cycle of birth.
What are the other names for Varuthini Ekadashi?
Varuthini Ekadashi is also known as Varuthini Gyaras.
Which prarthanas are recited on Varuthini Ekadashi?
Vishnu Shodasa Nama Stotram, Dwadashakshara Mantra and Vishnu Shanthakaram Mantra are recited on Varuthini Ekadashi. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
