Questions
January 2026 festivals — common questions
Which festivals fall in January 2026?
Lohri (13), Makar Sankranti (14), Basant Panchami (23). Every date is computed for sunrise in New Delhi.
When is Ekadashi in January 2026?
14 January 2026, 29 January 2026.
When are Purnima and Amavasya in January 2026?
Purnima: 3 January 2026. Amavasya: 18 January 2026.
Are these dates the same in every city?
Nearly, but not always. Sunrise decides which day a tithi names and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour, so in some years an observance falls on a different day in two cities. Each festival's own page has a city switcher.
