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.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Chaitra Amavasya in 2027?
Chaitra Amavasya 2027 falls on Tuesday, 6 April 2027. Amavasya tithi runs from 05:40 AM, 6 Apr to 05:21 AM, 7 Apr IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Chaitra Amavasya?
The last new moon of the closing Hindu year in the Amanta calendar — the dark night just before Gudi Padwa and Ugadi open a new Samvatsara. Families use it to clear ancestral dues with tarpan before the new year begins the next morning.
Why is Chaitra Amavasya observed?
Chaitra Amavasya sits at a hinge in the calendar. In the Amanta system used across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra and Tamil Nadu, this new moon closes the old lunar year; the very next sunrise is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada — Gudi Padwa and Ugadi — when a new Samvatsara begins. So the day carries a settling-of-accounts feel. Ancestors are remembered with tarpan, an offering of water mixed with black sesame seeds (til), so the year does not turn with unpaid pitru-rina (debt to the forefathers). Shiva temples count Amavasya among the Pancha Parva — five festive days each month — and many host Tirthavari Utsavam, a ritual bath of the deity in sacred water. If the tithi falls on a Monday it is honoured as Somvati Amavasya; on Saturday, as Shani Amavasya, when remedies for Shani and Kalasarpa Dosha are preferred.
Which prarthanas are recited on Chaitra Amavasya?
Pitru Devata Mantra and Mahakali Mahakaleshwara Mantra are recited on Chaitra Amavasya. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
