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 Bhairavi Jayanti in 2026?
Bhairavi Jayanti 2026 falls on Thursday, 24 December 2026.
What is Bhairavi Jayanti?
Falling on Margashirsha Shukla Purnima, this day marks the birth of Tripura Bhairavi — the fifth Mahavidya and the Shakti of Bhairava. She is the same goddess the Durga Saptashati names Chandi, slayer of the demons Chanda and Munda.
Why is Bhairavi Jayanti observed?
The Narada Pancharatra tells how Bhairavi came to be. Mahakali, wishing to recover her fair form, vanished. Narada found her north of Mount Sumeru and proposed she remarry Shiva — and from her shadow, in anger, Tripura Bhairavi sprang forth. Tantric texts give her two very different faces. In one, she sits on a corpse in a cremation ground with sword, trident and a severed head, one hand raised in abhaya mudra (the 'fear-not' gesture). In the other, she shines like ten thousand rising suns, holding a book and rosary. She presides over Kundalini — the coiled energy at the base of the spine — and her many forms are invoked for specific needs: Shmashana Bhairavi at cremation grounds, Sampatprada Bhairavi for wealth, Kameshwari Bhairavi for marriage.
What are the other names for Bhairavi Jayanti?
Bhairavi Jayanti is also known as Tripura Bhairavi Jayanti.
