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 Vaishnava Papamochani Ekadashi in 2027?
Vaishnava Papamochani Ekadashi 2027 falls on Saturday, 3 April 2027.
What is Vaishnava Papamochani Ekadashi?
The Vaishnava observance of Papamochani — the 'sin-remover' Ekadashi — falls one day after the smarta date, in Chaitra Krishna Paksha. It is the last Ekadashi of the lunar year, slotted between Holika Dahan and Chaitra Navratri, and is the day sanyasis, widows and Gaudiya Vaishnavas keep the fast.
Why is Vaishnava Papamochani Ekadashi observed?
The 'Vaishnava' label matters: when Ekadashi tithi straddles two sunrises, smartas with families fast on the first day, while sanyasis, widows and Vaishnava sects fast on the second — the Vaishnava day. ISKCON follows this rule via its Gaurabda calendar and breaks the fast only after Hari Vasara, the first quarter of Dwadashi. The vrat-katha, told in the Bhavishya-uttara Purana as a dialogue between Krishna and Yudhishthira, explains the name. Sage Medhavi, a Shiva devotee in the Chaitraratha forest, was seduced by the apsara Manjughosha and lost 57 years to her spell. He cursed her into a pishachini (she-demon); his father Chyavana prescribed this fast, which freed both of their sin. Hearing the story is said to equal the merit of gifting a thousand cows.
Which prarthanas are recited on Vaishnava Papamochani Ekadashi?
Vishnu Shodasa Nama Stotram, Dwadashakshara Mantra and Vishnu Shanthakaram Mantra are recited on Vaishnava Papamochani Ekadashi. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
