Calendars

Hindu calendars count time by the moon and the sun, and the way they are arranged differs from region to region. Some calendars start the month at the new moon (amanta), some at the full moon (purnimanta), and some follow the sun's entry into a sign. This page lists the Hindu calendar, the regional calendars and the festival calendars.

Use the regional calendar for your community to see its months and festival dates, or the festival calendars for Diwali, Navratri and Durga Puja.

## Questions about Calendars

Why do Hindu festival dates change every year?

Hindu months follow the moon, which does not match the 365-day year, so festivals move across the Gregorian calendar and are adjusted with an extra month in some years.

What is the difference between amanta and purnimanta?

The amanta calendar ends the month on the new moon, the purnimanta calendar on the full moon, so the same day can fall in different month names.

Which calendar should I use?

Use the one your region follows, for example Tamil, Gujarati or Bengali. The Hindu calendar here gives the common lunar view.
