Frequently Asked Questions
When is Yamuna Jayanti in 2027?
Yamuna Jayanti 2027 falls on Monday, 12 April 2027. Shashti tithi runs from 09:40 PM, 11 Apr to 07:35 PM, 12 Apr IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Yamuna Jayanti?
Yamuna Jayanti marks the river-goddess's descent to earth on Chaitra Shukla Shashthi, during Chaitra Navratri. Unlike Ganga, who promises liberation, Yamuna — twin sister of Yama, the god of death — is said to free bathers from the fear of death itself. Vishram Ghat in Mathura is the main centre.
Why is Yamuna Jayanti observed?
Yamuna is the daughter of Surya, the sun god, and the twin sister of Yama. Because of that sibling bond, a dip in her waters on this day is believed to soften Yama's judgement — a promise quite different from Ganga's offer of moksha. She is also Krishna's queen Kalindi, named for Mount Kalinda where she rises. The Garga Samhita tells how she came down to Vraja to be near him, which is why Mathura and Vrindavan, not Yamunotri, lead the celebrations. At Vishram Ghat in Mathura and Kesi Ghat in Vrindavan, devotees dress the river as a bride — offering a red chunari (veil), sindoor, bangles and sweets to the current. Followers of the Pushtimarg sect recite Vallabhacharya's Yamunashtakam, eight verses to the goddess.
Which prarthanas are recited on Yamuna Jayanti?
Krishnaya Vasudevaya - Shloka and Yamuna Gayatri Mantra are recited on Yamuna Jayanti. You can listen to them with audio on this page.
