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 ISKCON Panchang
What is the Gaurabda era?
The Gaudiya Vaishnava reckoning counted from the appearance of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in 1486, so a Gaurabda year runs some 1485 or 1486 behind the Common Era. The year turns at Gaura Purnima in Phalguna.
Why does an Ekadashi date differ from a general Hindu calendar?
Because the Gaudiya rule is stricter. Where an Ekadashi is Mahadwadashi or is touched by Dashami at sunrise, the fast is shifted to the Dwadashi, so the observed day can fall one later than a general almanac shows.
What is the paran window?
The time next morning within which the fast must be broken - after sunrise and before the Dwadashi ends, or as the local temple announces. Because it is a city-specific window, confirm it with your temple\'s own calendar before fasting.
Which festivals does it mark?
Janmashtami and Nandotsava, Radhashtami, Gaura Purnima, Damodara and Kartika Vrata, Govardhana Puja, Rama Navami, Nrsimha Chaturdashi, the Vyasa Puja days of the acharyas, and every Ekadashi with its fasting note.
What are the Vaishnava months named on this page?
The twelve names of the Lord used in the Gaudiya reckoning - Madhusudana, Trivikrama, Vamana, Sridhara, Hrsikesa, Padmanabha, Damodara, Kesava, Narayana, Madhava, Govinda and Visnu - mapped to the Amanta lunar months. Those names belong to this panchang; the festival list by month is the ISKCON calendar, today's tithi and sunrise sit on the daily Panchang, and the other almanacs are collected on Calendars.
