About the Hindu Calendar 2028
The Hindu calendar (Panchang) for 2028 follows the luni-solar system where months are determined by the Moon's phases and the year by the Sun's sidereal cycle. In the Vikram Samvat system, 2028 CE corresponds to Samvat 2084–2085. The Shaka Samvat year is 1949–1950.
Key Festivals in 2028
Major festivals include Holi (March), Chaitra Navratri (March), Ugadi (March), Ram Navami (April), Dussehra (September), Naraka Chaturdashi (October), Diwali (October). Ekadashi, Pradosh, and Purnima vrats occur twice monthly throughout the year.
How Dates Are Calculated
All dates on Bhakti5 are computed from astronomical first principles using the VSOP87 planetary theory and Lahiri Ayanamsa. Dates vary by city because they depend on the Tithi prevailing at local sunrise.
