Frequently Asked Questions
How many Hindu holidays are there in 2026?
There are approximately 50–70 Hindu observances in 2026, depending on regional variations and whether you count fasting days (Ekadashi, Pradosham) alongside major festivals. The exact count and dates depend on your city, as Hindu dates are calculated from local sunrise and Panchang positions.
Are Hindu festival dates the same every year?
No. Hindu festivals follow the lunisolar calendar, so dates shift by 10–12 days relative to the Gregorian calendar each year. Some festivals like Makar Sankranti (solar-based) fall on nearly the same Gregorian date, while lunar-based festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Navratri vary significantly.
Which Hindu holidays are government holidays in India?
The central government of India declares national holidays for major festivals like Diwali, Holi, Dussehra, Maha Shivaratri, Ram Navami, Janmashtami, and Guru Nanak Jayanti. State governments add additional holidays for regional festivals. The list marked in our table highlights commonly recognized government holidays.
