The complete Hindu calendar for 2026 with all major festivals, Ekadashi vrat dates, eclipses, Purnima, and Amavasya – computed using classical Vedic astronomical algorithms from Ujjain (the traditional prime meridian of Hindu astronomy). Dates are accurate for all Indian cities.
The Hindu calendar is simultaneously astronomical and spiritual. Every festival date is computed from real celestial events — Diwali falls on the Amavasya (new moon) of Kartik, Holi on the Purnima (full moon) of Phalguna, Ganesh Chaturthi on the Chaturthi of Bhadrapada. These are not arbitrary dates — they are precise lunar-solar alignments. The calendar is a living expression of the Vedic understanding that human life is interwoven with cosmic rhythm.
The Trayodashi (13th tithi) combined with twilight is supremely sacred to Lord Shiva. Pradosham falling on Saturday (Shani Pradosham) is especially powerful for removing Saturn's afflictions.
