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 Thai Amavasya in 2027?
Thai Amavasya 2027 falls on Saturday, 6 February 2027. Amavasya tithi runs from 07:05 PM, 5 Feb to 09:26 PM, 6 Feb IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Thai Amavasya?
Thai Amavasai is the new moon that follows Makara Sankranti, falling in the first half of Uttarayana — the northward solar half scripturally favoured for ancestor rites. Tamil families gather before dawn at Agni Theertham in Rameswaram and the Kaveri ghats to offer tarpanam with black sesame and darbha grass.
Why is Thai Amavasya observed?
The ritual hinges on a small gesture. Water mixed with black sesame seeds and a blade of darbha grass is poured through the gap between thumb and index finger — the spot called Pitru Tirtha, reserved for the departed. The Garuda Purana says that if a family no longer remembers the exact death-date of a forebear, an Amavasya tarpanam covers everyone in the line, three generations back on both sides. Thai's new moon carries extra weight because the sun has just turned north; the pitrus are said to be most receptive in this half of the year. Performing the rite is meant to repay Pitru Rina — the inherited debt every Hindu is born with to those who came before. Coastal towns like Rameswaram and Tiruchendur, and the Kaveri sites of Mayiladuthurai and Thiruvengadu, see the largest gatherings before sunrise.
Which prarthanas are recited on Thai Amavasya?
Pitru Gayatri Mantra and Pitru Devata Mantra are recited on Thai Amavasya. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
