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 Shravana Somavara - Prathama in 2027?
Shravana Somavara - Prathama 2027 falls on Monday, 19 July 2027.
What is Shravana Somavara - Prathama?
The first Monday of Shravana — Prathama Somavara — traditionally opens the Solah Somwar vow: sixteen straight Monday fasts begun on this day to seek a spouse or marital welfare. In North India it also launches the Kanwar Yatra, when devotees walk home with Ganga water to bathe a Shiva linga.
Why is Shravana Somavara - Prathama observed?
The month's pull on Shiva worship is explained in the Skanda Purana, where the Shravana Mahatmya is told as a dialogue between Shiva and Sanatkumara, Brahma's son. The classic reason given is the Samudra Manthan — Shiva drank the halahala poison this month, turning his throat blue, and milk and Ganga water are poured over the linga to cool him. On the first Monday the abhisheka is done with the Sri Rudram (Namakam–Chamakam) and bilva leaves. In many temples a Dharanatra — a clay pot pierced with a small hole — is hung above the linga so water drips on it through the whole month. Dates split by region: states on the Amanta calendar (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana) start Shravana about a fortnight after the North.
