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 Kharchi Puja in 2027?
Kharchi Puja 2027 falls on Sunday, 11 July 2027.
What is Kharchi Puja?
Once a year in Asadha (June–July), the fourteen royal deities of Tripura — represented only by their carved heads — leave the locked Chaturdasha Devata Mandir in Old Agartala for a week of public darshan. Kharchi Puja marks that brief opening, and traditionally includes a buffalo sacrifice.
Why is Kharchi Puja observed?
The fourteen gods carry Kokborok names — Burasa, Lampra, Khuluma and so on — that correspond to Shiva, Brahma, Lakshmi, Ganga, Himadri, Kamadeva and others. They are unusual icons: only the heads are sculpted, not full bodies. The Chantai, the hereditary Tripuri head priest, leads the rites — not a Brahmin. On the eve of the puja the heads are carried to the Saidra (Howrah) river, bathed, and brought back in procession. The buffalo offering recalls a local legend from the Rajmala chronicles: Harabati, widow of the wicked king Tripur, found the fourteen gods cornered up a cotton tree by a wild buffalo and helped them kill it. The name 'Kharchi' comes from the Kokborok 'khya' (earth), and the seven-day rite is also read as cleansing Mother Earth after her annual menstruation.
Which prarthanas are recited on Kharchi Puja?
Bhoomi Vandana and To Purify Surroundings are recited on Kharchi Puja. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
