Purnima Shraddha
This is the day the fortnight opens, observed on Bhadrapada Purnima. Families gather to honour ancestors beyond the three nearest generations, and to mark the season of remembrance formally beginning. Those whose ancestor died specifically on a purnima tithi observe their rite later, on Sarva Pitru Amavasya, at the close of the fortnight.
Purnima Shraddha 2027 falls on 15th September 2027.

About
Tradition holds that Bhadrapada Purnima itself precedes Pitru Paksha proper and is set aside for Nandimukha shraddha — offerings to ancestors older than one's parents and grandparents, those with descendants and a settled lineage. The rite follows the shared form used through the fortnight: tarpan with water, black sesame and darbha grass offered facing south, followed by pind daan and a meal served to invited brahmins, traditionally led by the eldest son of the family. Where the date of death is unknown, or a family wishes to open the remembrance period formally, this day is the customary starting point before the tithi-wise shraddhas that follow.

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.

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.
