Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Frequently asked questions about Annual Vrat Calendar
What does this calendar show?
The whole year of vrats as a month grid - 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, each on its actual date.
How many vrats can one person keep?
Whatever is sustainable. The tradition never expected a householder to keep every fast in the calendar - most families keep one weekly vrat, the Ekadashis or Pradosh, and the major annual ones. A vrat abandoned halfway is worse regarded than one never begun.
Which vrat should a beginner start with?
A weekday vrat matched to the deity you already worship - Monday for Shiva, Tuesday for Hanuman, Thursday for Vishnu or Guru, Friday for Lakshmi or the Devi. The Vrat Vidhi page gives each procedure.
Who should not fast strictly?
Children, the elderly, pregnant women, and anyone unwell or on medication - they keep a simple fruit-and-milk fast, or none, and lose nothing by it. A waterless fast in summer heat is a real risk, not a greater merit.
Why do some vrats appear on a different date than expected?
Because each vrat has its own rule for which day carries the tithi - sunrise, madhyahna, pradosh or nishita. The grid shows the tithi timing, so where a date surprises you the reason is on the page.
