Questions about May 2026
- Which Hindu month is May 2026?
- May 2026 spans Vaishakha (17 April - 17 May) and Adhika Jyeshtha (17 May - 15 June). 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 May 2026?
- 2: Apara Ekadashi (13 May), Padmini Ekadashi (26 May).
- 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.
