How the festival countdown works
This is a live countdown to the next Hindu festivals. Each card shows how many days, and for the very next festival, the hours, minutes, and seconds, remain until the celebration, along with the festival's date and its associated deity. The list is ordered by date, so the closest festival always appears first, and it refreshes as time passes and as new dates are confirmed.
Because Hindu festivals follow the lunisolar Panchang, their Gregorian dates shift every year. The countdown resolves each festival to its actual date for the current cycle, so you never have to convert tithis yourself.
Plan ahead with festival dates
Use the countdown to prepare in good time, ordering pooja samagri, planning travel home, booking a muhurat, or simply sending greetings on the day. Tapping a festival opens its full page with the significance, step-by-step puja vidhi, and auspicious timings.
For a month-by-month view of tithis, vrats, and festivals, open the Hindu calendar; to look up auspicious windows for a specific ceremony, use the Shubh Muhurat finder. Together they turn the countdown into a complete planning tool for the year ahead.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are these festival dates calculated?▾
Hindu festival dates follow the lunisolar calendar and are computed from the Panchang, the tithi (lunar day), nakshatra, and the Sun's position, rather than fixed Gregorian dates. That is why festivals like Diwali and Holi fall on different English dates each year. The countdown updates automatically as new dates are confirmed.
Which festivals does the countdown show?▾
It shows the next upcoming major Hindu festivals in date order, including Diwali, Holi, Navratri, Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi, Maha Shivratri, and more, each with its date and associated deity.
Why might a festival's date differ from another calendar?▾
A festival's tithi can span two English days, and regional traditions (for example North vs South India) sometimes observe it on different days. Dates here follow the widely used standard; always confirm with your local Panchang or family tradition for observances.
Can I see the full details of a festival?▾
Yes. Tap any festival to open its page for the date, significance, puja vidhi, and muhurat. You can also browse the full Hindu calendar and the festivals hub for the whole year.
