Festival Date, Tithi & Muhurat

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 Kushmanda Puja in 2027?
Kushmanda Puja 2027 falls on Saturday, 10 April 2027. Chaturthi tithi runs from 01:32 AM, 10 Apr to 11:40 PM, 10 Apr IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Kushmanda Puja?
On Chaitra Shukla Chaturthi, Shakti is honoured as Kushmanda — 'the little cosmic egg' (Ku + Ushma + Anda: little + warmth + egg). She is the only Navadurga said to live inside the core of the Sun, and devotees offer her malpua as the day's prasad.
Why is Kushmanda Puja observed?
The name carries the creation story. Before there were worlds, only darkness existed. Kushmanda smiled — and that smile hatched the Brahmanda, the cosmic egg from which the universe unfolded. She then chose to dwell inside the Sun's core, the one form of Parvati said to bear that heat, and from there she gives Surya his light and direction. That is why she is called the Mother of the Sun. Her eight arms (Ashtabhuja) carry a kamandalu, bow, arrow and lotus on the right; on the left, a pot of amrita, a discus, mace, and a japa mala believed to hold every siddhi she grants. In tantric practice she presides over the Anahata (heart) chakra. A folk reading of her name also links her to the white pumpkin (kushmanda) offered in her bali.
Which prarthanas are recited on Kushmanda Puja?
Kushmanda Gayatri Mantra and Ya Devi Sarvabhuteshu are recited on Kushmanda Puja. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
