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.

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 Swaminarayan Jayanti in 2027?
Swaminarayan Jayanti 2027 falls on Thursday, 15 April 2027. Navami tithi runs from 03:24 PM, 14 Apr to 01:21 PM, 15 Apr IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Swaminarayan Jayanti?
Marks the 1781 birth of Ghanshyam Pande at Chhapaiya near Ayodhya — the boy who became Sahajanand Swami and, to his followers, Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Falling on the same tithi as Rama Navami, the day peaks at 10:10 pm, his recorded birth hour, when Gujarati mandirs perform a special aarti.
Why is Swaminarayan Jayanti observed?
Swaminarayan was orphaned at eleven and left home as the boy-ascetic Nilkantha Varni, famously standing on one leg for four months clad only in a loincloth. At nineteen he reached Saurashtra in Gujarat, where the sampradaya took shape; by twenty-five he led an order of five hundred sadhus and was campaigning against sati, female infanticide and child marriage. Devotees keep a nirjala vrat — a fast without even water — until the 10:10 pm aarti, then sing bal-bhajans celebrating his infant form. Before his death in 1830 he split the sangha into two gaddis via a document called the Lekh: Ahmedabad for the north, Vadtal for the south, each led by an acharya drawn hereditarily from his two nephews' lines — a structure that still governs the original sampradaya today.
What are the other names for Swaminarayan Jayanti?
Swaminarayan Jayanti is also known as Hari Jayanti and Shree Hari Jayanti.
Which prarthanas are recited on Swaminarayan Jayanti?
