About the Annual Vrat Calendar

The full year of Hindu vrats as a month grid. Each day shows its tithi and any fasting observance falling on it — every Ekadashi, Pradosh, Sankashti and Vinayaka Chaturthi, Masik Shivaratri, Purnima and Amavasya vrat, alongside Navratri, Rama Navami, Maha Shivratri, the Teej vrats, Janmashtami, Karwa Chauth, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Chhath and Holika Dahan — on its actual date for the chosen year.

Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date — tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam).
