Question 1

What festivals are in the 2026 Hindu and Sikh calendar?

Accepted Answer

The 2026 calendar includes major Hindu festivals such as Makar Sankranti, Maha Shivratri, Holi, Ram Navami, Akshaya Tritiya, Guru Purnima, Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Dussehra, Karwa Chauth and Diwali, along with recurring observances like Ekadashi, Pradosh, Purnima and Amavasya. Sikh dates include Guru Nanak Gurpurab, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Jayanti, Vaisakhi, Hola Mohalla, Bandi Chhor Divas and the Shaheedi Diwas commemorations.

Question 2

Are these festival dates accurate for my city?

Accepted Answer

The dates shown follow mainstream Panchang. Because Hindu and Sikh festivals are largely lunar, the exact day can vary by ±1 across regional traditions and by local sunrise. For city-specific tithi, nakshatra and muhurat timings, check the Panchang for your city.

Question 3

How do I set a reminder for a festival?

Accepted Answer

Open any festival page and use "Add to Calendar" to save it to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar with a reminder one day before. Festival pages also let you share the date and guide on WhatsApp and other platforms.

Question 4

What makes the Gita Guidance calendar different?

Accepted Answer

Beyond dates and rituals, every festival page connects the day to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita — relevant shlokas, Krishna's guidance and the spiritual meaning behind the observance — so the calendar becomes a daily source of reflection, not just a list of holidays.
