Questions
Which festivals are in March 2026?
Holika Dahan: Mar 2; Holi: Mar 3; Sri Rama Navami: Mar 26.
When is Ekadashi in March 2026?
Papamochani Ekadashi: India Mar 15, USA Mar 14; Kamada Ekadashi: India Mar 29, USA Mar 28.
Which Hindu month is March 2026?
Phalguna and Chaitra, in Vishvavasu 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.
