Questions
Which festivals are in August 2026?
Varalakshmi Vratam: —; Raksha Bandhan: Aug 28 (USA Aug 27).
When is Ekadashi in August 2026?
Kamika Ekadashi: India Aug 9, USA Aug 8; Shravana Putrada Ekadashi: India Aug 23, USA Aug 23.
Which Hindu month is August 2026?
Ashadha and Shravana, in Parabhava samvatsaram. The month runs new moon to new moon (amanta), as in the Telugu calendar.
Why are some US dates a day earlier?
A festival is fixed by the tithi at sunrise, sunset or moonrise in your own city. The USA is 9½ to 12½ hours behind India, so the same tithi often reaches the right time of day there one local day earlier.
