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 Dwadashi Shraddha in 2027?
Dwadashi Shraddha 2027 falls on Monday, 27 September 2027.
What is Dwadashi Shraddha?
Also called Baras Shradh, this day is kept for ancestors who died on a Dwadashi tithi. Tradition also treats it as suitable for those who had taken sannyas or lived as a yati, a renunciate, before death — ascetics whose rites differ from a householder's and are placed here.
Why is Dwadashi Shraddha observed?
A sannyasi renounces the household rites that ordinarily bind a person to family and lineage, so his shraddha is placed apart from the tithi-of-death pattern followed for most ancestors — Dwadashi is held as the tithi suited to this rite, whatever day the ascetic actually died. The offering keeps the fortnight's shared form: tarpan of water and black sesame, pind daan of rice and barley, and a meal served to invited brahmins, performed while seated facing south with a ring of darbha grass worn on the hand. The eldest son, or whichever descendant remains connected to the ascetic's memory, ordinarily conducts the rite.
Which prarthanas are recited on Dwadashi Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Dwadashi Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
