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 Radhashtami in 2027?
Radhashtami 2027 falls on Wednesday, 8 September 2027.
What is Radhashtami?
Falling exactly fifteen days after Krishna Janmashtami, Radhashtami marks Radha's birth at midday — not midnight like Krishna's. The heart of the festival is the Ladli Ji temple in Barsana, the hill village of Radha's birth, where Her image is bathed in a grand noon abhishekam.
Why is Radhashtami observed?
The vrat is laid out in the Brihannaradiya Purana: a golden image of Radha is placed on a copper kalasha and worshipped at madhyahna (midday) with the full sixteen-step shodashopachara puja, since Radha is said to have been born at noon. Devotees keep a full fast or, if not, an ekabhukta vrat — a single meal — and feed married women the next day to close the observance. In Gaudiya Vaishnavism, which treats Radha as Krishna's hladini-shakti (His own power of bliss), this is Her Appearance Day. Vrindavan temples like Radha Raman and Radha Vallabh mark it with a rare gesture: the feet of the deity, kept covered all year, are uncovered for darshan on this one day.
What are the other names for Radhashtami?
Radhashtami is also known as Radha Janmotsav, Radha Jayanti and Radha Ashtami.
Which prarthanas are recited on Radhashtami?
Radha Gayatri Mantra is recited on Radhashtami. You can listen to it with audio on this page.
