About these dates

Hindu festivals follow the lunar calendar, so their dates change every year. The dates here follow widely used panchang calculations for India. Some festivals are observed a day earlier or later in different regions (Durga Puja dates, for example, follow the Bengali calendar), and festivals linked to the moon or sunrise can shift by a day depending on where you live. Check your local temple or panchang for exact puja timings.
