Not a religious authority

Hindu Calendar is an independent, privately built reference tool. It isn't affiliated with any temple, religious organization, astrologer, or government body. Nothing on this site should be treated as authoritative religious or astrological guidance.

Panchang values are approximate

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana are calculated using standard low-precision astronomical formulas for the sun and moon's position at the current moment, using the Lahiri ayanamsa. Two things make this an approximation rather than an exact Panchang: first, the calculation is evaluated at the moment you load the page, not at your local sunrise, which is the traditional anchor point most printed Panchangs use for the whole day; second, our formulas are accurate to roughly a tenth of a degree, which is generally reliable but can occasionally place a value on the wrong side of a transition that happens close to the moment of calculation.

Do not use this for muhurat or ritual timing

For weddings, groundbreaking ceremonies, naming ceremonies, or any other timing that depends on precise auspicious windows, consult a professional astrologer or a Panchang calculated specifically for your location by a qualified source. This site is for general, everyday reference only.

Festival dates

Festival dates are researched and verified against public sources for the current year. Some festivals are observed on different days by different regional traditions or calendar systems (for example, Amanta vs. Purnimanta month reckoning); we show the most widely cited date.

Samvat years

Vikram Samvat and Shaka Samvat years are calculated using standard approximation rules and may shift by a day around their respective new year transitions.

No liability

We make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate, but Hindu Calendar and its operators accept no responsibility for outcomes resulting from reliance on dates, tithis, or timings shown here.
