The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

- 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 Ashvayuja Amavasya in 2026?
Ashvayuja Amavasya 2026 falls on Monday, 9 November 2026. Amavasya tithi runs from 11:28 AM, 8 Nov to 12:32 PM, 9 Nov IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Ashvayuja Amavasya?
The new-moon night that closes the lunar month of Ashvayuja — the same night the lamps of Deepavali are lit. In the south it is the evening of Lakshmi-Kubera puja at home; in Bengal it is Kali Puja, when the darkest tithi of the year is given over to the goddess of the night.
Why is Ashvayuja Amavasya observed?
Ashvayuja Amavasya sits at the heart of the five-day Deepavali cluster, between Naraka Chaturdashi the day before and Bali Pratipada the day after. The moonless evening is reserved for Lakshmi Puja: in North and West India, traders open fresh account books (bahi-khata) and invite the goddess into lit homes at pradosha, the twilight hour. In Bengal, Assam and Odisha the same night belongs to Kali — Shaktas worship Dakshina Kali through the night, treating the absence of moonlight as the most charged time for tantric rites. A note on calendars: in the southern Amanta reckoning this tithi closes Ashvayuja, while the northern Purnimanta system calls the very same night Kartika Amavasya. The date is one; only the month-name shifts.
What are the other names for Ashvayuja Amavasya?
Ashvayuja Amavasya is also known as Ashwina Amavasya.
Which prarthanas are recited on Ashvayuja Amavasya?
