Lohri
Lohri marks the last night of Pausha, the eve of the Sun's turn toward Capricorn. Punjab lights a community bonfire at sunset and tosses in rewri — sesame-and-jaggery brittle — along with popcorn and peanuts, while children sing the ballad of Dulla Bhatti door to door.

About
The Lohri songs you hear around the fire are really one song: 'Sunder Mundriye', the tale of Dulla Bhatti. He was a 16th-century Punjabi chief who rebelled against Akbar's land taxes and rescued two poor girls, Sundri and Mundri, from being taken into the Mughal harem — then arranged and paid for their weddings. That is why he is called Punjab's Robin Hood. The bonfire itself is fed by firewood and dried cow-dung cakes the whole neighbourhood contributes. Families circle it in parikrama (a clockwise walk around the fire), feeding it rewri, popcorn and peanuts as thanks for the rabi harvest of sugarcane and wheat. A household's first Lohri after a wedding or the birth of a child is treated as especially sacred. Under Maharaja Ranjit Singh in the early 19th century, the day was grand enough that the king handed out titles and rewards.

Prarthana, Mantras & Vrat Katha

Every festival has its own prarthanas, stotras and vrat kathas. Reading or listening to them on the festival day is the simplest way to observe the tradition at home.

Inside the Dharmayana app you can listen to:

  • 1000+ prarthanas, mantras and stotras with clear audio
  • Festival-specific kathas — Lakshmi, Durga, Shiva, Ganesha, Krishna
  • Multilingual versions: Sanskrit, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and more

Browse the full collection of prarthanas or get the app to play them on the festival morning without ads.

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

Hindu festivals — like Diwali, Navratri, Mahashivaratri, Holi and Janmashtami — mark sacred moments tied to deities, seasons and lunar/solar cycles. Each festival has its own story, vrat, prarthana and rituals, and is timed using the Panchanga so the date moves slightly every year against the Gregorian calendar.
