Hindu calendar
Monthly Hindu calendar
Tithi, Paksha and Nakshatra for every day of the month, with festivals and vrats, calculated for your city.
Reading the calendar
Each square is one civil date. The Tithi and Nakshatra are those prevailing at sunrise where you are; the Paksha tells you whether the Moon is waxing (Shukla) or waning (Krishna). Festival dates follow the same sunrise rule plus each festival's classical conditions.
Questions
Which Tithi is shown for each date?
The Tithi in force at local sunrise. A Tithi can begin or end later in the day, which is why the same festival can fall on different civil dates in different cities.
What are Amanta and Purnimanta months?
Amanta months end at the new moon (used mostly in western and southern India); Purnimanta months end at the full moon (used mostly in the north). The Tithis are identical; only the month name for the Krishna paksha differs.
What is an Adhika (extra) month?
When two new moons fall within one solar sign, a lunar month repeats as Adhika masa, roughly every 32 months, to keep the lunar calendar aligned with the seasons.
