How the dates are chosen
Festival dates follow the rules DrikPanchang follows, and were checked against its calendar for New Delhi: every festival and vrat of 2026 and 2027, and twelve major festivals in every year from 2021 to 2031. Where a festival could fall on two days, the reason printed beside it is the rule that decided. Regional calendars that count the month differently, or follow the Vaishnava reckoning, can keep some on the other day.
