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 Saptami Shraddha in 2027?
Saptami Shraddha 2027 falls on Wednesday, 22 September 2027.
What is Saptami Shraddha?
The seventh day of the fortnight is kept for those who died on a Saptami tithi. Like several days in this fifteen-day period, it holds no distinct legend of its own; its place is defined only by the tithi rule that governs the whole of Pitru Paksha.
Why is Saptami Shraddha observed?
Saptami Shraddha is performed with the same care as any day in Pitru Paksha, since the fortnight does not rank one ancestor's rite above another's. The karta faces south, offers tarpan of water and black sesame, and wears darbha grass as a mark of the ritual's sanctity. Rice-and-barley pindas are then offered to the father, grandfather and great-grandfather, and the rite closes with a meal given to brahmins invited to stand in for the departed. The eldest son ordinarily performs the ceremony on behalf of the household, invoking the ancestor by name where it is known.
Which prarthanas are recited on Saptami Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Saptami Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
