What is the Hindu Festival Calendar?
Hindu festivals follow a lunisolar calendar, so a festival that falls on a fixed lunar day moves around on the Gregorian calendar from one year to the next. This page lists the main festivals of 2025 and 2026 with the date, the deity or theme, the region where it is most widely kept, and a short note on its meaning.
You can read the full list, filter it by month or by deity, search by name, or switch to a month grid to see which days have a festival. A banner counts down to the next one, and any festival you star is saved in your own browser so you can find it again under the Reminders tab.

Questions people ask
Why do festival dates change every year?
Most Hindu festivals are tied to lunar days, and the lunar year is shorter than the solar year. A festival therefore shifts on the Gregorian calendar, with an extra month added from time to time to keep the seasons in line.
Are these dates the same in every part of India and abroad?
Not always. A lunar day can start in the evening and end the next afternoon, so places and traditions may choose different days. Panchang makers also use different methods. Your local temple can tell you the day it will keep.
Can the page send me a reminder?
No. When you star a festival it is saved in your browser and listed under Reminders, with a count of days to go. It does not send messages or notifications.
Where does the festival information come from?
The dates and notes are a fixed list inside the page, not a live feed. The main dates for 2026 were checked against published calendars, but they can still differ by a day depending on the method used.
Why is there no 2027 list?
Only years with checked dates are shown. Other years may be added later once the dates have been confirmed.
Please note. Guidance only. For rituals and observance, ask your temple or priest.
