About this page

Each festival date comes from its tithi and the time of its ritual: midday for Ganesh Chaturthi, pradosh for Diwali, midnight (nishita) for Janmashtami and Maha Shivratri, moonrise for Karwa Chauth and Sankashti. Bhadra is avoided for Raksha Bandhan and Holika Dahan.

We checked the major 2026 and 2027 dates against government holiday lists and published panchangs. When a tithi touches two days, panchangs can differ by a day; our choice follows the rule shown on the methodology page.

Questions people ask

Why do festival dates differ between calendars?

A tithi is judged at sunrise or at the ritual time, which changes with the city. North India names months Purnimanta and Maharashtra, Gujarat and the South Amanta, so month names differ too.

How many festivals are listed for 2026?

137, including monthly vrats such as Ekadashi, Pradosh and Sankashti Chaturthi.
