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 Swami Vivekananda Jayanti in 2027?
Swami Vivekananda Jayanti 2027 falls on Tuesday, 12 January 2027.
What is Swami Vivekananda Jayanti?
Two birthdays, one monk. The Ramakrishna Math observes Vivekananda's Jayanti on Paush Krishna Saptami — the seventh day of the waning moon after Paush Purnima, his tithi of birth in 1863. The Indian government instead fixed his Gregorian birthday, 12 January, as National Youth Day in 1984.
Why is Swami Vivekananda Jayanti observed?
Narendranath Datta was born into a well-off Bengali family in Calcutta on 12 January 1863, which fell that year on Krishna Paksha Saptami of the month of Paush — seven days after Paush Purnima. Because the tithi drifts each year against the Western calendar, the Ramakrishna Math and Mission — the order he founded, headquartered at Belur Math on the Hooghly — keep his Jayanti on that lunar day. In 1984 the Government of India took a different route: it declared his fixed solar birthday, 12 January, as Rashtriya Yuva Diwas (National Youth Day), observed since 1985 in schools and colleges with speeches, processions and readings from his 1893 Chicago address at the Parliament of the World's Religions. So the saint gets two anniversaries a few weeks apart — one monastic, one civic.
Which prarthanas are recited on Swami Vivekananda Jayanti?
Guru Gayatri Mantra and Ramakrishna Paramhamsa Dhyana Sloka are recited on Swami Vivekananda Jayanti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
