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 Shashthi Shraddha in 2027?
Shashthi Shraddha 2027 falls on Tuesday, 21 September 2027.
What is Shashthi Shraddha?
This day is observed for ancestors who died on a Shashthi tithi, the sixth day of either lunar fortnight. It carries the fortnight's general rule and no additional tradition of its own — the family's obligation is the same remembrance performed on every other day of Pitru Paksha.
Why is Shashthi Shraddha observed?
On Shashthi Shraddha, as through the fortnight, the karta bathes, wears a ring of darbha grass, and sits facing south to offer tarpan of water mixed with black sesame to the ancestors. Pind daan follows — balls of cooked rice and barley placed with sesame and flowers — and the rite closes with a meal served to invited brahmins, who are treated as representing the departed themselves. Where the name and date of death are known, the ancestor is invoked directly by lineage; the eldest son of the family ordinarily conducts the ceremony.
Which prarthanas are recited on Shashthi Shraddha?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Shashthi Shraddha. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
