Kannada calendar 2026 · method and sources

The Kannada month is lunar and amanta: it runs from one new moon to the next and takes its name from the sidereal sign the Sun occupies at the new moon that opens it. That is why the month changes mid-Gregorian-month in the table above and never on the 1st. North Indian calendars reckon the same days purnimanta, ending the month at the full moon instead, and name the dark fortnight for the following month; this page publishes the amanta name, which is the one used in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. Where a lunation contains no sankranti it is an adhika (extra) month and is labelled as one.

Tithi and nakshatra are read at sunrise at Bengaluru, which is the moment that names a Vedic day. Sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so the day a tithi names can differ between two cities — the times on this page are this city's, and are computed from the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same engine the rest of the site uses. Festival days follow each observance's own deciding moment: pradosh for Deepavali, nishita for Shivaratri, madhyahna for Ganesh Chaturthi, and sunrise for the rest.

Month names, weekday names and the section labels above are in ಕನ್ನಡ. Tithi and nakshatra names are printed in Latin transliteration, exactly as the calculation engine publishes them, rather than transliterated into Kannada script by machine. Festival names appear in ಕನ್ನಡ where that tradition has an established name and in English otherwise.

Kannada calendar 2026 · common questions

How many months does the Kannada calendar 2026 have?

Twelve, and each has its own page above. The Kannada month is lunar and amanta — the month runs new moon to new moon, so it does not line up with a Gregorian month and changes partway through one.

What is the first festival of 2026 in the Kannada calendar?

Makar Sankranti on 14 January 2026.

Which city are the Kannada calendar 2026 timings for?

Bengaluru. Sunrise decides which day a tithi names and it differs across India by well over an hour, so a calendar without a stated city is a calendar for nowhere.

Is there a Kannada calendar 2026 PDF download?

There is no PDF download on this page. Every date is computed when the page is requested, so an exported file would begin going stale immediately.
