The Hindu calendar follows the rhythm of the moon and the sun, marking time through tithis, nakshatras and seasonal shifts. It is less about dates on a page and more about alignment, observing when nature, rituals and inner life quietly move together.
Each month brings its own mix of fasts, festivals and observances, guiding daily life, worship and reflection. These moments help people pause, reset, and stay connected to tradition through the year.
