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.

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

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.

What is Bhadrapada Mahalaya Amavasya?
The closing day of the fortnight Hindus reserve for ancestors. The Garuda Purana names this new moon as the one occasion when a single Shraddha appeases every forefather — known and unknown, named and forgotten — which is why it is also called Sarvapitri or Sarvapitra Moksha Amavasya.
Why is Bhadrapada Mahalaya Amavasya observed?
By tradition the pitrus descend to earth at the start of Pitru Paksha and leave on this Amavasya, so the day is treated as their farewell. Tarpan is offered with water mixed with black sesame, barley and kusha grass, and food is set out for crows, cows, dogs and a Brahmin before the family eats. Regional colour varies sharply. In Bengal the same dawn opens Durga Puja with the Mahishasura Mardini recitation. In Maharashtra households cook Puran Poli and other festive dishes for the meal. Along the Ganga, Godavari and Kaveri, riverbanks fill with men performing tarpan waist-deep in water. In parts of Mumbai, Dhora and Kathkari families place an unpeeled coconut on the household altar — it stands in for the ancestor being honoured.
What are the other names for Bhadrapada Mahalaya Amavasya?
Bhadrapada Mahalaya Amavasya is also known as Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Sarvapitra Moksha Amavasya and Pitru Amavasya.
