How the dates are calculated
Each festival belongs to a tithi of a lunar month — Diwali is the Amavasya of Ashwina (amanta), Janmashtami the Krishna Ashtami of Shravana. The day is the one on which that tithi prevails at the time the festival is observed: sunrise, midday, evening, midnight or moonrise. Holika Dahan and Raksha Bandhan also avoid Bhadra. Festivals are not placed in an Adhika (extra) month; its Ekadashi, Pradosh, Purnima and Amavasya are listed and marked Adhika.
Dates follow the North Indian (Smarta) tradition for the city shown; festivals that depend on sunrise, moonrise or local midnight can fall a day apart in different cities. Where the Vaishnava (ISKCON) date of an Ekadashi or Janmashtami differs, it is shown below the festival. Checked against Drik Panchang for 2025–2027 (New Delhi, New York); other years use the same rules. Regional festivals are tagged and follow their own calendars. The new year at Mesha Sankranti: Baisakhi and Puthandu fall on the day the Sun enters Mesha if before sunset, Vishu at the first sunrise after it, Pana Sankranti (Odisha) on that day if before Hindu midnight, and Poila Baisakh (Bengal) the day after that. Hanuman Jayanti is Chaitra Purnima in the North, Vaishakha Krishna Dashami in Andhra and Telangana, and Margashirsha Amavasya in Tamil Nadu.
