Festival Pooja & Pandit Booking

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 Pratipada Shraddha in 2027?
Pratipada Shraddha 2027 falls on Thursday, 16 September 2027.
What is Pratipada Shraddha?
This is the first day of Pitru Paksha proper. The guiding rule for the entire fortnight is set here: a family performs shraddha on the tithi matching the day their ancestor died, whatever the month of death — so Pratipada Shraddha is kept for those who passed on a Pratipada tithi.
Why is Pratipada Shraddha observed?
This principle carries through all fifteen days: whichever tithi a person died on, in whichever Hindu month, that is the day their descendants set aside during Pitru Paksha for tarpan and pind daan, not necessarily the calendar date of death. Also called Padwa Shraddha, this first proper day of the fortnight is observed with water and black sesame offered facing south through cupped hands wrapped in a ring of darbha grass, followed by pind daan and food offered to brahmins. The eldest son ordinarily leads the rite, though any capable descendant may perform it where he is unavailable.
Which prarthanas are recited on Pratipada Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Pratipada Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
