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.

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 Randhan Chhath in 2027?
Randhan Chhath 2027 falls on Monday, 23 August 2027. Shashti tithi runs from 08:45 PM, 22 Aug to 08:53 PM, 23 Aug IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Randhan Chhath?
On the sixth waning day of Shravana, Gujarati kitchens run all day — then go silent. Whatever is cooked on Randhan Chhath must feed the family through the next day, Shitala Satam, when lighting the hearth is forbidden. 'Randhan' simply means cooking.
Why is Randhan Chhath observed?
The rule comes from Shitala Mata, the goddess invoked against fevers and pox like measles and smallpox. To honour her 'cooling' nature, no fresh fire burns in the kitchen on her day — so the food eaten then must be cold and a day old. Randhan Chhath is the practical answer to that vow. Households cook in bulk, choosing dishes that keep well overnight without souring in the Shravana monsoon — flatbreads, fried snacks, jaggery sweets, and milk preparations. The same logic runs through North India as Basoda, observed after Holi on Sheetala Ashtami. The shared idea: the kitchen hearth, normally a place of heat and transformation, is stilled for a day in deference to a goddess whose blessing is the absence of inner heat — fever.
Which prarthanas are recited on Randhan Chhath?
Shitla Mata Aarti and Shitala Slokas are recited on Randhan Chhath. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
