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 Dwitiya in 2027?
Chaitra Navratri Dwitiya 2027 falls on Thursday, 8 April 2027.
What is Chaitra Navratri Dwitiya?
Day two honours Brahmacharini — Parvati as a young ascetic, barefoot, holding a rosary and a water pot, never a weapon. She earned the name Aparna ('leafless') after a penance so severe she gave up even bilva leaves while trying to win Shiva as her husband.
Why is Chaitra Navratri Dwitiya observed?
The story sits in the Shiva Purana. Young Parvati wants Shiva, and Narada tells her only tapas (penance) will work. She leaves the palace for the forest. For years she lives on fruit and roots. Then only on fallen bilva leaves. Finally she gives up the leaves too — earning the name Aparna, 'she who eats not even a leaf.' Shiva relents. The day's worship mirrors that austerity: devotees offer sugar or mishri (rock candy), not rich sweets, and the goddess is shown with japa mala (rosary) and kamandalu (water pot) instead of the trident she will later carry as Durga. In tantric Navratri practice she is placed at the Svadhisthana chakra, the second energy centre — matching her position as the second night of the nine.
Which prarthanas are recited on Chaitra Navratri Dwitiya?
