Navami Shraddha
Navami Shraddha is also called Matru Navami, and in some traditions Avidhava Navami — the day for departed mothers and other female ancestors, particularly married women who died while their husband was still living. It follows the fortnight's tithi rule, kept for anyone who died on a Navami, but is most closely tied to the women of the family.
Navami Shraddha 2027 falls on 24th September 2027.

About
The name Avidhava — "not widowed" — marks out women who predeceased their husbands, distinguishing this rite from shraddha for women who outlived their spouse and died widowed. In practice, the day is used more broadly to honour a mother, grandmother, sister or other female ancestor of the family, alongside anyone who died on a Navami tithi. The ritual keeps the fortnight's standard form: tarpan with water and black sesame offered facing south, a ring of darbha grass worn during the rite, pind daan, and a meal served to brahmins, usually arranged by the eldest son.

Festival Pooja & Pandit Booking

Want a Pandit-led pooja for this festival at home, or online if you live abroad? Dharmayana connects you with verified Pandits for all major Hindu festivals — Diwali, Navratri, Shivratri, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi and more.

You can book:

  • Festival pooja at home with a verified Pandit
  • Online / virtual pooja with live video and digital prasad
  • Same-day sankalp for time-sensitive festivals

Bookings, samagri lists and Pandit assignment are all handled inside the Dharmayana app — choose the festival, pick a date and the rest is taken care of.

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.
