Why named festivals aren't listed here
Diwali, Holi and Navratri depend on the lunar month (masa), leap-month handling and regional amanta/purnimanta convention - none of which this computation carries. A wrong festival date is worse than an absent one, so this calendar lists only what follows directly from the tithi at sunrise.

Frequently asked
- How many Ekadashi are there in 2026?
- 14 Ekadashi dates are published for 2026.
- Does this include Diwali and Holi?
- No. Named festivals need lunar-month and leap-month handling this calendar doesn't compute, so they're deliberately omitted rather than guessed.
- Where do these dates come from?
- From the same panchang computation that drives the site's daily panchang pages - sidereal (Lahiri) values from Swiss Ephemeris. That's why these lists can never disagree with the panchang pages.
