Hindu Calendar 2026: festivals, vrats and Hindu months

Next festival · 2026

Karwa Chauth

Thu, 29 Oct

53 festivals · 47 vrat days

The Hindu calendar for 2026 (Vikram Samvat 2082–2083): 53 festivals and 47 vrat days. Each month below opens its own page with the tithi and nakshatra of every day, and every date is computed from the Moon and the Sun rather than copied from a list.

Then: Ahoi Ashtami — Sun, 1 Nov

Every date below is computed for New Delhi. Open the festival's own page to move it to your city — an observance decided at moonrise, such as Karwa Chauth, can genuinely fall on a different day elsewhere.

The two reckonings name the same day differently for about half of every month: a purnimanta month ends at the full Moon, so its dark fortnight already carries the next month's name, while an amanta month runs on to the new Moon. Vikram Samvat is counted here from the first day of purnimanta Chaitra, as AstroSage prints it; readers who keep the amanta calendar begin the new year at Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Gudi Padwa, Ugadi) about a fortnight later, which is also when Shaka Samvat turns over.

2026 festivals — common questions

How many festivals are there in 2026?

53 from this site's list, and 47 vrat days beside them — 23 of those Ekadashi. Every date is computed for sunrise in New Delhi.

Which month has the most festivals in 2026?

November 2026, with 15: Ahoi Ashtami, Dhanteras, Diwali, Kali Puja, Narak Chaturdashi, Govardhan Puja, Bhai Dooj, Labh Panchami, Chhath Puja, Gopashtami, Dev Uthani Ekadashi, Tulsi Vivah, Dev Diwali, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Kartik Purnima.

Are the 2026 dates the same as any other year's?

No. A festival is fixed to a tithi rather than to a Gregorian date, so the same festival lands on a different day each year — which is why each year has its own page here rather than one list.

Are these dates the same in every city?

Nearly, but not always. Sunrise decides which day a tithi names and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so in some years an observance falls on a different day in two cities. Each festival's own page has a city switcher.
