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:

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 Pohela Boishakh in 2027?
Pohela Boishakh 2027 falls on Thursday, 15 April 2027.
What is Pohela Boishakh?
The Bengali solar new year, falling on Mesha Sankranti when the sun enters Aries. In Dhaka, dawn opens with Chhayanaut's concert under the Ramna banyan tree; shops open red cloth-bound Haal Khata ledgers, settle old dues, and offer sweets to customers who walk in.
Why is Pohela Boishakh observed?
The era is dated to King Shashanka of seventh-century Bengal, with year zero around 594 CE — so the Bengali year runs roughly 593 behind the Gregorian one. The Haal Khata custom, however, is younger. It traces to Akbar's revenue reforms, which shifted tax collection to the harvest and pushed traders to close their books on the last day of Chaitra. The next morning, a new ledger is opened with a swastika and a prayer to Lakshmi and Ganesha. In Dhaka, the day's signature event is the Mangal Shobhajatra — a procession of giant papier-mâché masks, birds and animals begun by Dhaka University's fine arts students in 1989 and inscribed by UNESCO in 2016. Breakfast is panta bhat: rice soaked overnight in water, eaten with fried hilsa, green chilli and onion.
What are the other names for Pohela Boishakh?
Pohela Boishakh is also known as Nobo Borsho and Bohag Bihu.
Which prarthanas are recited on Pohela Boishakh?
Ganesh Gayatri Mantra, Lakshmi Gayatri Mantra and Ganapati Vandana are recited on Pohela Boishakh. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
