Anchor: Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya and Sankashti are dated by the tithi current at sunrise (or, for Sankashti, at moonrise); Pradosh by the tithi current at sunset. If a tithi never touches a sunrise (kshaya), this site uses the day the tithi begins; Vaishnava calendars shift such dates to the next day.

Methodology and reference

Dates on this page are computed astronomically — sidereal solar and lunar longitudes with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — and dated by the classical rules of Dharmasindhu and Muhurta Chintamani (Udaya Tithi, Pradosh-vyapini and Aparahna conventions as applicable). Every value is regression-checked against Rashtriya Panchang, the official almanac compiled by Positional Astronomy Centre, IMD (Government of India) in Kolkata; the full method is described on the about page.

Frequently asked questions

Which calendar does this Hindu calendar follow?
Dates are computed with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa and Udaya Tithi — the tithi current at local sunrise — matching the Government of India Rashtriya Panchang conventions.
Why can festival dates differ between cities?
The tithi current at sunrise depends on when the sun rises locally, so the same tithi can cover a different sunrise in another city, shifting the observance date by one day.
What does kshaya mean in the tables?
A kshaya is a tithi that begins after one sunrise and ends before the next, touching no sunrise at all. This site dates such observances to the day the tithi begins; Vaishnava tradition shifts them to the following day.
