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.
Hindu Calendar 2023 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 385 dates in 2023, opening with Samba Dashami on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 240 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 44 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2079 – 2080. 2023 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2023
Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 2023 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 18 July 2023 to 16 August 2023. Samba Dashami fell on 1 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 2022 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Hindu Calendar 2023
How many festivals and vrats does the Hindu Calendar list in 2023?
The Hindu Calendar lists 385 dates in 2023, of which 240 are vrats. The first is Samba Dashami on Sunday, 1 January 2023, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Saturday, 30 December 2023.
What are the main festival dates in the Hindu Calendar for 2023?
The first major observances of 2023 are:
- Samba Dashami - Sunday, 1 January 2023
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Monday, 2 January 2023
- Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Friday, 6 January 2023
- Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 14 January 2023
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 15 January 2023
- Mattu Pongal - Monday, 16 January 2023
Which month of 2023 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
November 2023 is the fullest month with 44 dates, including Karva Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Dhanteras, Bhoot Chaturdashi, Kali Chaudas.
Which traditional year does 2023 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2023 spans Vikram Samvat 2079 – 2080. The traditional year does not begin on 1 January, so one Gregorian year usually covers the end of one era year and the start of the next.
Did 2023 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2023 carried an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month inserted roughly every third year to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar one. Festivals falling after it shift later in the Gregorian year, which is why 2023 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2023?
2023 had 4 eclipses:
- 20 April 2023 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 May 2023 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 14 October 2023 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 October 2023 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2023?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2023:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 17 January 2023
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 22 April 2023
Jupiter takes about a year to cross one sign and Saturn about two and a half, so these transits colour the whole year rather than a single week.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2023?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Hindu Calendar - Panchangam opens on the current month.
About the Hindu Calendar - Panchangam
The Hindu lunar calendar (Panchang). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and any festivals or vrats, with the Vikram Samvat year and the lunar (Amanta) month.
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). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
