Vasant Panchami
Magha Shukla Panchami marks Saraswati's appearance day — and the first day of Holi season in Brij, where priests at Vrindavan's Banke Bihari temple toss the year's first gulal. Across India, devotees wear yellow to echo the blooming mustard fields, and children are guided to write their first letters before her idol.

About
Two threads run through this day, far apart in mood. In Bengal it is Saraswati Puja: clay idols in yellow saris are installed at home and in schools, and toddlers perform Hate Khori — the chalk-in-hand ceremony — tracing their first Bengali letters on a slate held by an elder. The idols are then carried in procession and immersed, often the same evening. In Mathura and Vrindavan, the same tithi opens the 40-day countdown to Holi: a Holi Danda (wooden post) is planted to be burnt at Holika Dahan, and priests fling abeer and gulal on devotees for the first time. Punjab adds a third register — Basant here is secular, a kite-flying festival famously patronised by Ranjit Singh, who held court in yellow. The recitation common to all three is the Saraswati Stotram verse 'Ya Kundendu Tushara Hara Dhavala'.

Prarthana, Mantras & Vrat Katha

Every festival has its own prarthanas, stotras and vrat kathas. Reading or listening to them on the festival day is the simplest way to observe the tradition at home.

Inside the Dharmayana app you can listen to:

  • 1000+ prarthanas, mantras and stotras with clear audio
  • Festival-specific kathas — Lakshmi, Durga, Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna
  • Multilingual versions: Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and more

Browse the full collection of prarthanas or get the app to play them on the festival morning without ads.

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.
