The calendar on this page — and on almost every wall in India — is the Gregorian calendar. Its whole job is to keep the year in step with the Sun, which takes about 365.2422 days to bring the seasons round again. A few simple rules do that remarkably well.
A year divisible by 4 is a leap year, except century years, which must also be divisible by 400. So 2000 was a leap year but 1900 was not, and 2100 will not be. 2026 is not; the next leap year is 2028.
The older Julian calendar added a leap day every four years without exception, which ran about 11 minutes a year too long. By 1582 the drift had reached ten days, and Pope Gregory XIII's reform removed them: Thursday 4 October was followed directly by Friday 15 October.
Britain and its territories, including the East India Company's settlements in India, changed over in 1752. By then the gap was 11 days, so 2 September 1752 was followed by 14 September.
Four hundred Gregorian years contain exactly 146,097 days — precisely 20,871 weeks. That is why the calendar repeats itself, weekdays and all, every 400 years.
Most Indians live by two or three calendars at once: the Gregorian calendar for school, work and banks, and a traditional calendar for festivals, fasts and auspicious days.
Adopted on 22 March 1957 (1 Chaitra 1879 Saka), it has fixed month lengths and its new year on 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year. The Gazette of India prints dates in both systems — November 1, 2026 is Kartika 10, 1948.
Months follow the Moon but an extra month (Adhik Maas) is added about every 32½ months to stay in step with the seasons. North India counts months from full moon to full moon (Purnimanta); much of the south and west counts from new moon (Amanta). हिंदी कैलेंडर
Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, Odia and Assamese calendars begin each month when the Sun enters a new zodiac sign. That is why Puthandu, Vishu, Pohela Boishakh, Pana Sankranti and Bohag Bihu all fall around 14 April. See our Tamil calendar with Tamil dates for every day.
The Islamic calendar is purely lunar, about 354 days long, so Ramadan and Eid arrive roughly 11 days earlier each year — Eid al-Fitr was on 21 March in 2026 and is expected on 10 March in 2027. Urdu Calendar follows Hijri dates.
Running about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian count, Vikram Samvat 2083 began in North India with Chaitra Navratri in March 2026. Gujarat starts its Vikram Samvat year the day after Diwali instead.
Tithis, nakshatras, Ekadashi and other fasts come from the panchang. Our sister site Sanskrit Calendar covers them in depth.
In 2026, February, March and November; September and December; April and July; January and October start on the same weekday, so their grids line up day for day apart from their lengths.
2026 has 3 — in February, March and November. 2027 has only one, in August. Every year has at least one and never more than three.
A year's calendar is identical to another year's when both start on the same weekday and are both leap or both common. The 2026 calendar matches 2015 and will be valid again in 2037.
2026 has 53 ISO weeks — a "long" year, because it starts on a Thursday. ISO week 1 is the week that contains the year's first Thursday, so 1 January can fall in week 52 or 53 of the year before.
May has five Fridays, five Saturdays and five Sundays in 2026, because a 31-day month starting on a Friday gets three extra days of the weekend.
When February starts on a Sunday in a common year, it fills exactly four rows of a Sunday-first calendar. 2026 is one of those years.
January, March, May, July, August, October and December.
April, June, September and November.
February — 29 only in a leap year.
The knuckle trick: make a fist and count the months across your knuckles and the dips between them, starting with January on the first knuckle. Knuckles are 31-day months and dips are shorter ones. After July on the last knuckle, start again on the first knuckle with August — which is why July and August both have 31 days.
Salary day, rent, EMIs, school fees and card due dates go on the calendar before anything else; everything flexible fits around them.
A holiday on a Monday or Friday — or a Tuesday or Thursday with one day of leave — is the cheapest break you can get. Our month pages point them out.
When the month has seven days left, check what will not get done and move it to next month on purpose, instead of letting it slip.

No. 2026 has 365 days and February has 28 days. The next leap year is 2028.
The bar at the top of every page shows today's ISO week number. 2026 has 53 ISO weeks, and November 2026 covers weeks 44 to 49.
Daily life, business and government run on the Gregorian calendar. Since 22 March 1957 the Indian National Calendar (Saka) has been used alongside it in the Gazette of India, government calendars and All India Radio broadcasts.
Diwali follows the Hindu lunisolar calendar, which keeps close to the seasons but moves against Gregorian dates by up to a few weeks. Eid follows the purely lunar Hijri calendar, which is about 11 days shorter than a solar year, so Eid comes earlier every year.
The calendar on this page starts on Sunday, the usual layout for Indian wall calendars. The printable calendar lets you switch to a Monday start.
