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
When is Vishu in 2027?
Vishu 2027 falls on Saturday, 15 May 2027.
What is Vishu?
Kerala's solar new-year, marking the sun's entry into Aries (Mesha Sankranti) around April 14. The day turns on a single image: the Vishukkani — a lamp-lit tray of golden konna blossoms, rice, coins and a mirror that the household must see first thing on waking.
Why is Vishu observed?
The Vishukkani is arranged the night before, usually in front of an image of Krishna, and family members are led to it with their eyes covered so it is literally the year's first sight. The yellow kanikonna (golden shower tree) blooms are essential — they flower exactly at this season and stand in for gold. Elders then hand out coins to children, servants and tenants, a custom called Vishukkaineetam. The Sadya that follows deliberately covers all six tastes, including two dishes most festival meals avoid: Veppampoorasam, a bitter preparation of neem flowers, and Mampazhapachadi, a sour raw-mango curry. Eating the bitter alongside the sweet is the point — the year ahead will hold both, and the meal rehearses accepting them. Despite the 'Malayalam New Year' nickname, the Malayalam calendar's year actually begins months later on Chingam 1.
Which prarthanas are recited on Vishu?
Surya Gayatri Mantra and Vishnu Vandana are recited on Vishu. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
