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.

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 Attukal Pongal in 2027?
Attukal Pongal 2027 falls on Monday, 22 February 2027.
What is Attukal Pongal?
Ten days at Thiruvananthapuram's Attukal Bhagavathy Temple, but day nine is the spectacle: millions of women line the streets for kilometres, each cooking sweet rice over her own brick hearth as an offering to the goddess. It holds the Guinness record for the world's largest gathering of women.
Why is Attukal Pongal observed?
The goddess of Attukal is identified with Kannaki, the wronged heroine of the Tamil epic Silappadikaram. After the Pandya king of Madurai wrongly executed her husband Kovalan, she tore off her breast and burned the city in rage. The Pongala cools that wrath. On day nine, the chief priest lights the Pandara Aduppu — the lead hearth inside the temple — and that single flame is passed outward, kindling every street hearth in turn. Women cook 'pongala', rice boiled with jaggery, coconut and ghee, until it boils over; the overflow is the sign the goddess has accepted the offering. Only women may prepare it, which is why the temple is called the 'Sabarimala of Women'. The ten days close late that night with Kuruthitharpanam, a propitiatory blood-offering ritual.
What are the other names for Attukal Pongal?
Attukal Pongal is also known as Pongala Mahotsavam.
Which prarthanas are recited on Attukal Pongal?
Sarvamangala Mangalye Stotram and Durga Sapta Shloki are recited on Attukal Pongal. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
