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
When is Chaturdashi Shraddha in 2027?
Chaturdashi Shraddha 2027 falls on Tuesday, 28 September 2027.
What is Chaturdashi Shraddha?
Chaturdashi Shraddha, also known as Ghata Chaturdashi or Ghayala Chaturdashi, is reserved for family members who did not die a natural death — those killed by weapon, accident, poison, fire or violence. It stands apart from the day-of-death rule that governs most of the fortnight, since these deaths are held to unsettle the soul in a particular way.
Why is Chaturdashi Shraddha observed?
Also called Veera Shraddha or Bali Shraddha in some traditions, this day exists because ordinary shraddha rites are considered unable to fully settle a soul that left the body through violence or misadventure, whatever tithi that death actually fell on. The rite follows the fortnight's core form — tarpan of water and black sesame offered facing south, darbha grass worn on the hand, and pind daan of rice and barley — completed with a meal served to invited brahmins. It is performed by the eldest son or closest surviving relative, with particular care given to invoking the departed by name.
Which prarthanas are recited on Chaturdashi Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Chaturdashi Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
