KharmasWednesday, 16 December 2026 to Thursday, 14 Januarythe Sun in Dhanu until Makar Sankranti; it closes a wedding, a mundan and a janeu until Thursday, 14 January 2027; the panchang still gives dates for griha pravesh, buying property, a new vehicle or a new business, though many North Indian families wait until it ends
KharmasMonday, 15 March to Tuesday, 13 Aprilthe Sun in Meen until Mesh Sankranti; it closes a wedding and a mundan through Wednesday, 14 April: the Sun changes rashi after that day’s sunrise, so the day still counts as Kharmas; the panchang still gives dates for a janeu, griha pravesh, buying property, a new vehicle or a new business, though many North Indian families wait until it ends
HolashtakTuesday, 16 March to Sunday, 21 Marchthe eight tithis from Phalgun Shukla Ashtami to Purnima, the night of Holika Dahan, which this year fit in 6 days; it closes a wedding, a mundan, a janeu, a naming (namkaran), a study start (Vidyarambha) and griha pravesh until Sunday, 21 March
Chaitra NavratriWednesday, 7 April to Thursday, 15 Aprilthe spring Navratri, from the Hindu new year to Ram Navami
ChaturmasWednesday, 14 July to Wednesday, 10 Novemberthe four months of Vishnu’s rest, from Devshayani to Dev Uthani Ekadashi; it closes a wedding, a janeu and a study start (Vidyarambha), which can be held again from Wednesday, 10 November, Dev Uthani Ekadashi itself; the panchang still gives dates for a mundan or griha pravesh, though many North Indian families wait for Dev Uthani Ekadashi

Pitru PakshaWednesday, 15 September to Wednesday, 29 Septemberthe fortnight of shraddh for the ancestors; it closes a new vehicle until Wednesday, 29 September; others are closed in these days anyway: a wedding, a janeu and a study start (Vidyarambha) by Chaturmas, a mundan by the Sun’s month, griha pravesh by its lunar month; the panchang still gives dates for buying property or a new business, though many families wait until after Sarva Pitru Amavasya

what each term means
  • Purnimanta: the North Indian calendar, where a month ends on Purnima, the full moon. In the Amanta calendar of the west and south a month ends on Amavasya, so in the dark half the two give the month different names.
  • Shukla and Krishna paksha: the bright half of the month, as the Moon grows to Purnima, and the dark half, as it wanes to Amavasya.
  • Sankranti: the day the Sun enters a new rashi; Makar Sankranti is the best known.
  • Pradosh: the evening hours just after sunset.
  • Nishita: the midnight hour, when Shivratri and Janmashtami puja is done.
  • Aparahna and madhyahna: the afternoon (the fourth of five equal parts of daylight) and the middle of the day.
  • Parana: the window for breaking a fast, such as the Ekadashi fast on the next morning.
  • Snan-daan: the holy dip and the gifts given on a Purnima or Amavasya.
  • Kshaya: a tithi that begins after one sunrise and ends before the next, so no sunrise shows it; it is kept on the day it begins.
