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 Thai Pusam in 2027?
Thai Pusam 2027 falls on Friday, 22 January 2027.
What is Thai Pusam?
Thaipusam marks the day Parvati gave Murugan the Vel — a spear that stands for the piercing of ignorance, not just the slaying of the asura Surapadman. Held on Pushya star in the Tamil month of Thai, it is famous for kavadi-bearers walking in silence to hill shrines like Palani.
Why is Thai Pusam observed?
The kavadi tradition comes from the story of Idumban, a disciple of Sage Agastya. Agastya asked him to carry two hills — Shivagiri and Shaktigiri — slung on a pole across his shoulders. Halfway through the journey the hills became immovable, because a small boy (Murugan in disguise) had claimed them. Idumban fought the boy, was killed, and then revived as Murugan's chief devotee. Every kavadi today re-enacts that pole and burden. The items inside carry meaning of their own: a milk pot for purity, turmeric for debts being shed, ghee for letting go, sour milk for sickness handed over. At Palani — the third of Murugan's six Padai Veedu — devotees climb the hill to Dandayudhapani, a navabashana (nine-herb amalgam) idol of the renunciate Murugan, sculpted by the siddha Bhogar.
What are the other names for Thai Pusam?
Thai Pusam is also known as Thaipooyam.
Which prarthanas are recited on Thai Pusam?
Subramanya Stotram, Subramanya Ashtakam, Skanda Beej Mantra and Skanda Gayatri Mantra are recited on Thai Pusam. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
