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 Jagannatha Rath Yatra in 2027?
Jagannatha Rath Yatra 2027 falls on Monday, 5 July 2027. Dwitiya tithi runs from 04:51 AM, 5 Jul to 01:14 AM, 6 Jul IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Jagannatha Rath Yatra?
The only day of the year when Jagannatha leaves his sanctum — and the only major Hindu festival where the deity rides a chariot pulled by hand. On Ashadha Shukla Dwitiya, three wooden murtis ride three newly-built chariots down Puri's Bada Danda to the Gundicha temple, two miles away.
Why is Jagannatha Rath Yatra observed?
Each year the chariots are built fresh from neem wood and scrapped after use — Nandighosha for Jagannatha (45 feet, 16 wheels, yellow), Taladhwaja for Balabhadra (red-green, 14 wheels) and Darpadalana for Subhadra (red-black, 12 wheels). Before the pull, the Gajapati king of Puri sweeps the chariot platforms with a gold-handled broom — the Chhera Pahanra ritual that publicly equates king and sweeper before the deity. Gundicha is treated as the aunt's house where the siblings holiday for nine days; the return trip is the Bahuda Yatra. On the way back, Jagannatha halts at the Mausi Maa shrine for poda pitha, a baked rice-and-jaggery cake said to be his favourite. The deities' wooden bodies themselves are replaced only in Nabakalebara years, set by a rare double Ashadha.
What are the other names for Jagannatha Rath Yatra?
