Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Hindu calendar (Panchang calendar)?
It is a monthly calendar that shows, for each day, the panchang elements — the tithi (lunar day), nakshatra, and any festivals or vrats — alongside the Gregorian date. Unlike a plain calendar it tracks the lunar month and the daily observances.
What do the tithi and nakshatra in each cell mean?
The tithi is the lunar day at sunrise (the udaya tithi that governs observances), and the nakshatra is the lunar mansion the Moon occupies at sunrise. Both change roughly daily and determine festival and vrat timing.
Which festivals and vrats are marked?
Each day highlights major festivals plus the recurring vrats — Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya. For the full festival guides and vrat date lists, follow the links below the calendar.
How is this calendar calculated?
Every day's sunrise, tithi and nakshatra are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris for the location — the same engine behind the daily panchang — so the calendar is precise rather than copied from a printed almanac.
