Questions about March 2026
- Which Hindu month is March 2026?
- March 2026 spans Phalguna (17 February - 19 March) and Chaitra (19 March - 17 April). These are amanta months, new moon to new moon; a purnimanta calendar starts each at the full moon, about a fortnight earlier.
- How many Ekadashi are there in March 2026?
- 2: Papmochani Ekadashi (15 March), Kamada Ekadashi (29 March).
- Why is the tithi given at sunrise?
- A printed panchang names a day by the tithi current at local sunrise, even if it ends an hour later. This calendar does the same for New Delhi; the panchang calculator gives the tithi at any moment.
- Do these dates apply outside New Delhi?
- They are computed for sunrise and sunset at New Delhi. Across India most days have the same tithi, but where a tithi changes close to sunrise another city - and more often a city abroad - can have a different one. The panchang calculator gives the tithi for any date and place.
