Haindavam

Haindavam is a Hindu religious calendar and Sanskrit chant learning app. Learn to recite sacred hymns with a teacher's voice, and follow the Hindu calendar for festivals, fasts and prayer times in your own city.

LEARN TO CHANT (ADHYAYANA)
- Interactive Practice Mode: A teacher chants each verse, followed by a timed countdown pause for you to repeat aloud. Learn authentic pronunciation of stotras with adjustable repetitions (1x/2x/3x) and variable playback speed (available for the majority of stotras).
- 592 Stotras & 92 Vedic Mantras: Authentically preserved texts organized by deity, including rare stotras sourced from historical editions printed before the 1920s.
- Read in Your Script: Every text is readable in Devanagari, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, or English (IAST) transliterations.

HINDU RELIGIOUS CALENDAR (PANCHANGAM)
- The Hindu calendar, the same system used by temples and families to schedule festivals, fasts, weddings and rites, much as other faiths use a liturgical calendar.
- Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana, calculated astronomically for your exact location.
- Local sunrise, sunset, moonrise and twilight times.
- Daily time windows for scheduling prayers and ceremonies: Choghadiya, Hora, Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika Kalam.
- Amaanta and Poornimaanta month systems.

FESTIVAL & VRATA CALENDAR
- Dates for Ekadashi, Pradosham, Sankashti Chaturthi and major festivals, computed for your own city, since festival dates depend on local sunrise.
- 233+ individually coded rules based on classical texts, including Dharma Sindhu and Nirnaya Sindhu.

ECLIPSE OBSERVANCE TOOLS
- Exact contact times (C1, C2, mid-eclipse, C3, C4) and obscuration for your location, calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris.
- An animated visualization of each eclipse.
- Sutak, Sparsha Snanam and Moksha Snanam timings, used by temples, priests and devotees to schedule observances.

WHAT HAINDAVAM IS NOT
Haindavam does not offer horoscopes, birth charts, zodiac readings, compatibility matching, palm reading or personal predictions, and it never asks for your birth details.
