What the Hindu calendar tracks

The Hindu calendar is luni-solar: months follow the Moon while the year stays aligned to the Sun through an occasional extra (Adhik) month. Festivals are fixed to a tithi and paksha in a lunar month, while sankrantis follow the Sun. This page brings the 2028 festivals and the monthly tithi days together in one place. Confirm important dates with your local panchang.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Hindu calendar called?

The traditional Hindu calendar is the Panchang (or Panchangam), meaning 'five limbs' — tithi, vaar (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana. It is luni-solar, combining lunar months with solar year alignment.

How many months are in the Hindu year?

Twelve lunar months — Chaitra, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwina, Kartika, Margashirsha, Pausha, Magha and Phalguna — with an extra Adhik Maas added roughly every three years to keep pace with the solar year.

Are the 2028 dates exact?

The dates are computed with the Lahiri ayanamsa and accurate to the day in most cases. Because some observances depend on sunrise, sunset or midnight timing and on regional tradition, confirm important dates with your local panchang.
