Why do the dates change every year?
Hindu and Nepali festivals follow the lunisolar Bikram Samvat calendar — dates are fixed by the lunar tithi, so they drift in the Gregorian calendar each year. The dates on this page are the curated 2026–27 observances (Drik Panchang reckoning for New Delhi and the official Nepali calendar).
Observances beyond the 2026–27 panchang are estimated from the festival's usual season. Confirm the exact tithi with a local panchang before planning.
