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.

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 Kamala Jayanti in 2026?
Kamala Jayanti 2026 falls on Sunday, 8 November 2026.
What is Kamala Jayanti?
Kamala Jayanti falls on the Ashwina (Purnimanta Kartika) Amavasya — the same new moon as Diwali — marking the birth of the tenth and last Mahavidya. Though she looks like Lakshmi, Kamala is grouped with the fierce Kali Kula and worshipped through tantric sadhana, not household puja.
Why is Kamala Jayanti observed?
The Swatantra Tantra tells a story rarely heard at Diwali: Kamala took form to kill the demon Kolasura, and earlier rose during the churning of the ocean. The Varahi Tantra goes further — Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva all worship her, which is why she is also called Tripura. The Purusha Sukta names her the consort of Vishnu, and she carries the epithet Bhargavi as the daughter of sage Bhrigu. Her iconography reads the difference from ordinary Lakshmi: golden-skinned, in a red sari, seated on a lotus in the middle of the ocean while four elephants pour abhishekam (ritual bathing) over her. Sadhakas chant her bija 'Aim' and the mantra 'Om Shrim Shrim Kamalatmika Shrim Swaha' — said to soften a harsh Shukra (Venus) dasha and protect the womb.
Which prarthanas are recited on Kamala Jayanti?
Kamala Ashtottara Shatanamavali and Kamala Astakam are recited on Kamala Jayanti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
