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 Panchami in 2027?
Chaitra Navratri Panchami 2027 falls on Sunday, 11 April 2027.
What is Chaitra Navratri Panchami?
Day five of Chaitra Navratri is for Skandamata — Parvati shown not as a warrior but as a young mother, baby Kartikeya on her lap, riding a lion. She is offered bananas as bhog, and her colour is white (Shubhra). Her planet is Budha (Mercury).
Why is Chaitra Navratri Panchami observed?
The name comes from a Puranic backstory. The demon Tarakasura had a boon that only Shiva's son could kill him, so the gods pushed Shiva and Parvati to marry. Their son Skanda — Kartikeya — destroyed Tarakasura, and Parvati earned the title Skandamata, 'Skanda's mother.' Her image carries this story: four arms, two holding lotuses, one in Abhaya mudra (the 'fear not' gesture), and one cradling the infant. Because she is often shown seated on a lotus, she is also called Padmasana. Tantric tradition links her to the Vishuddha chakra at the throat — the fifth chakra, governing clear speech and inner stillness. At the Skandamata Durga temple in Varanasi, an old shrine to this form, Skanda is unusually shown with a single head rather than the six-faced Shanmukha.
Which prarthanas are recited on Chaitra Navratri Panchami?
Skandamata Gayatri Mantra and Skandamata Mantra are recited on Chaitra Navratri Panchami. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
