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 Labh Pancham in 2026?
Labh Pancham 2026 falls on Saturday, 14 November 2026. Panchami tithi runs from 08:43 PM, 13 Nov to 11:24 PM, 14 Nov IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Labh Pancham?
Five days after Diwali, Gujarati traders reopen shops with a fresh ledger — writing 'Shubh' on the left page, 'Labh' on the right, and a sathiya (svastika) in the middle. The same Kartika Shukla Panchami is Jnana Panchami for Shvetambara Jains, who bring out and worship their scriptures.
Why is Labh Pancham observed?
The day carries two very different meanings. For Gujarati merchants it is the first working morning of the new Vikram Samvat year. The new account book — called chopda or khata — is consecrated before any business is recorded: 'Shubh' (auspiciousness) on the left, 'Labh' (profit) on the right, and a sathiya drawn at the centre of the first page, with Lakshmi invoked over it. Shvetambara Jains observe the same tithi as Jnana Panchami, literally 'Knowledge Fifth', falling five days after they mark Mahavira's nirvana at Diwali. Manuscripts and Agamas kept in temple bhandars are taken out, dusted, displayed and worshipped — an annual airing of the scriptural collection. Digambara Jains do not use this date; their parallel festival, Shruta Panchami, falls in Jyeshtha (May–June) instead.
What are the other names for Labh Pancham?
Labh Pancham is also known as Lakheni Panchami, Gyan Panchami and Saubhagya Panchami.
Which prarthanas are recited on Labh Pancham?
Kubera Dhana Prapti Mantra, Ganesh Chalisa and Lakshmi Kubera Mantra are recited on Labh Pancham. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
