Hindu Calendar

The Hindu calendar is lunisolar — months are anchored to the Moon (Tithi · Paksha · Masa) while the year stays aligned with the Sun via periodic adhika maasa (intercalary months). Every Hindu day is evaluated at sunrise; the calendar shifts a fraction across longitudes, which is why this tool uses your saved location.

Convert. The Gregorian → Hindu direction returns the Tithi, Paksha (Shukla / Krishna), Masa, Vara, and the two era years — Vikram Samvat (≈ +57 to Gregorian) and Shaka Samvat (≈ −78 to Gregorian). The reverse direction takes a Vikram Samvat year + masa + paksha + tithi and finds matching Gregorian dates; you may receive two when an adhika maasa is in play, or for a tithi that crosses a sunrise twice.

Year listings. Ekadashi falls twice per lunar month (Shukla and Krishna paksha) and so a year carries roughly 24 — occasionally 26 in adhika-maasa years. Sankranti is the solar transit; there are exactly 12 each year, the most-celebrated of which is Makar Sankranti (Sun → Capricorn, mid-January). Eclipse listings show the next 6 from your chosen year, with the locally-visible flag set per your saved coordinates.

Hindu New Year. Most regions celebrate at Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Gudi Padwa · Ugadi · Cheti Chand · Vikrami Samvat), late March / early April. Tamil Nadu (Puthandu), Kerala (Vishu), Punjab (Baisakhi), Bengal (Pohela Boishakh), and Assam (Bohag Bihu) anchor instead to Mesha Sankranti, ≈ 14 April.
