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 Yajur Upakarma in 2027?
Yajur Upakarma 2027 falls on Friday, 6 August 2027.
What is Yajur Upakarma?
On Shravana Purnima, Yajurvedi Brahmins replace the yajnopavita (sacred thread) and reopen the six-month Vedic study term that was paused during the monsoon. Tamils call it Avani Avittam; in Andhra it is Jandhyala Purnima — from 'jandhyam', the thread itself.
Why is Yajur Upakarma observed?
The day pivots on one act of repair. Before the new thread is worn, the householder recites the Kamokarshit Mahasankalpa — a long confession of every ritual lapse of the past year, said to release him from those errors. Only then is the old thread discarded and the Vedas formally restarted. The choice of Shravana Purnima is tied to Hayagriva, the horse-headed form of Vishnu: the demons Madhu and Kaitabha stole the Vedas from Brahma, and Hayagriva is said to have recovered and returned them on this day. So study resumes on the very date the scriptures were rescued. The next morning is Gayatri Japam, when the Gayatri mantra is chanted 1008 times to atone for mispronunciations of the previous year — making the two-day sequence a full reset of a Brahmin's ritual life.
Which prarthanas are recited on Yajur Upakarma?
Gayatri Mantra and Vyasa Shloka are recited on Yajur Upakarma. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
