The 2026 Vedic year at a glance
Hindu calendar calculations depend on tithi, nakshatra, sunrise and local time. A festival or muhurat can therefore fall on a different Gregorian date in another country. Use this page as a planning reference, then confirm exact local timings with the Panchang you follow.
