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 Kokila Vrat in 2027?
Kokila Vrat 2027 falls on Sunday, 18 July 2027. Purnima tithi runs from 06:48 PM, 17 Jul to 09:14 PM, 18 Jul IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Kokila Vrat?
A rare fast tied to the leap year — north Indian women keep Kokila Vrat only when Ashadha repeats, stretching it across the whole intercalary span from Ashadha Purnima to Shravan Purnima. Southern and western India keep it every year. The day's emblem is a small clay cuckoo, worshipped after a river bath.
Why is Kokila Vrat observed?
The cuckoo stands in for Sati herself. After she burned in Daksha's fire, she is said to have spent a thousand celestial years as a kokila before regaining her form and merging back into Shiva — which is why a clay bird, not a deity image, sits at the centre of this puja. The vrat katha read aloud during the fast is not a Shiva-Sati story at all. It is a teaching scene: Sage Vashistha explains the rite to Devi Kirtimala, wife of Shatrughna (Rama's youngest brother), and her recitation is what women repeat today. North Indian practice ties the fast to the leap-Ashadha cycle and runs it for a full lunar month; in Gujarat and the south the same vrat is compressed into the single Ashadha Purnima.
What are the other names for Kokila Vrat?
Kokila Vrat is also known as Kukkuta Vrat.
