Vaishnava Yogini Ekadashi
The Vaishnava-reckoned Ekadashi of Ashadha Krishna Paksha, falling between Nirjala and Devshayani in June–July. It is the day Sage Markandeya prescribed to the leper-yaksha Hemamali to undo Kubera's curse — making it the Ekadashi specifically tied to lifting disease and sin.

About
The story comes from the Brahma-Vaivarta Purana, told by Krishna to Yudhishthira. Hemamali, a yaksha, fetched lotuses from Lake Manasarovar each morning for Kubera's Shiva worship. One day, distracted by his wife Vishalakshi, he arrived late. Kubera cursed him with leprosy and separation. Wandering in the Himalayas, he met Sage Markandeya, who prescribed the Yogini Ekadashi vrat — and the curse lifted. The phala-shruti claims the fast equals feeding 88,000 brahmins. The "Vaishnava" tag matters here: when Ekadashi tithi spans two sunrises, Vaishnavas fast on the second day, the one where the tithi still holds about two hours before sunrise. Smartas usually take the first. The two dates often coincide, but when they split, sannyasis, widows and seekers of moksha follow this Vaishnava date.

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

Hindu festivals — like Diwali, Navratri, Mahashivaratri, Holi and Janmashtami — mark sacred moments tied to deities, seasons and lunar/solar cycles. Each festival has its own story, vrat, prarthana and rituals, and is timed using the Panchanga so the date moves slightly every year against the Gregorian calendar.
