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.

The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

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 Ratha Saptami in 2027?
Ratha Saptami 2027 falls on Saturday, 13 February 2027. Saptami tithi runs from 02:59 AM, 13 Feb to 02:07 AM, 14 Feb IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Ratha Saptami?
On this day Surya is said to turn his seven-horse chariot toward the north, and a pre-dawn river bath is rated as cleansing as the moment of a solar eclipse. Falling on Magha Shukla Saptami, it is also kept as Surya Jayanti, the Sun's birthday.
Why is Ratha Saptami observed?
The 'ratha' in the name is Surya's chariot, pulled by seven horses that are read as the seven colours of light or the seven chakras of the body. The signature ritual is the Arunodaya Snan — a bath taken in the four ghatis (about ninety minutes) before sunrise, ideally in a river or canal rather than at home. Because this bath is held to keep illness away, the day is also called Arogya Saptami, the seventh of good health. After bathing, devotees offer Arghya by tipping water from a small kalash with folded hands, standing and facing the rising sun. Charity on this day is rated as meritorious as gifts made during a solar eclipse, which is why fasts, donations and tarpana for ancestors cluster here. At Tirumala, the TTD takes Sri Malayappa Swami out on seven different vahanams across a single day.
Which prarthanas are recited on Ratha Saptami?
Aditya Dwadasa Nama Stotram, Vakratunda Ganesha Mantra, Aditya Hrudayam and Surya Arghya Shloka are recited on Ratha Saptami. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
