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 Chaitra Navratri Chaturthi in 2027?
Chaitra Navratri Chaturthi 2027 falls on Saturday, 10 April 2027.
What is Chaitra Navratri Chaturthi?
Day four of Chaitra Navratri honours Kushmanda — 'Ku-Ushma-Anda', the little cosmic egg. She is said to have hatched the universe out of darkness with a faint smile, then settled inside the Sun's core to feed it light. Devotees offer malpua and recite her eight-armed dhyana.
Why is Chaitra Navratri Chaturthi observed?
Kushmanda's name breaks down as Ku (little), Ushma (warmth) and Anda (egg) — the spark that became the Brahmanda, or cosmic egg. Before her smile, scripture describes the cosmos as a featureless void. She is the only form of the Goddess said to dwell inside Surya-loka, the core of the Sun, which is why astrologers send people with a weak or afflicted Sun in their horoscope to her shrine. Tantric texts place her at the Anahata (heart) chakra, linking solar fire to the heart's warmth. Her image carries eight weapons — kamandalu, bow, arrow, lotus, an amrita-kalash, japa-mala, mace and discus — and she rides a lion. The day's bhog is malpua; some households also offer a white ash-gourd (kushmanda), the vegetable that gave her her name.
Which prarthanas are recited on Chaitra Navratri Chaturthi?
Kushmanda Gayatri Mantra and Kushmanda Mantra are recited on Chaitra Navratri Chaturthi. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
