How are these festival dates calculated?

They are computed, not copied from a table. We derive the exact instants of every new moon and full moon and the Sun’s entry into each sidereal sign, build the lunar months by the classical rule (a month is named after the Sankranti that falls within it), and then locate each festival by its lunar month, paksha and tithi. The civil date follows the classical rule for that festival — the tithi at sunrise, or the tithi covering the forenoon, midday, afternoon, evening (pradosh), moonrise or midnight — checked against real sunrise and sunset for New Delhi. Skipped (kshaya) and repeated (vriddhi) tithis are resolved by the same rules, so no festival is dropped. The engine is the same one behind your Kundli.

Do these match Drik Panchang / my local Panchang?

Our automated tests compare the major-festival, Ekadashi, Purnima and Sankranti dates with Drik Panchang’s calendar for New Delhi in several years. Dates are for New Delhi: a Panchang for another city can differ by a day because of local sunrise, and Vaishnava (ISKCON) and Smarta traditions sometimes keep Ekadashi, Ram Navami or Janmashtami on different days — we list the Smarta date. Where a festival is observed at night or moonrise we note it.

What is the difference between a festival, a vrat and Ekadashi?

A festival is a celebration (e.g. Diwali, Holi). A vrat is an observance/fast (e.g. Ekadashi, Pradosh, Karwa Chauth). Ekadashi — the 11th tithi of each fortnight — is the most frequent Vishnu fasting day, so it is listed separately, with its traditional name (Kamada, Mohini, Nirjala and so on).

Why does one calendar say "Kartika Amavasya" and another "Ashwina Amavasya"?

There are two ways of naming the lunar months. In the amanta system (used in Gujarat, Maharashtra and South India) a month ends on the new moon; in the purnimanta system (used in most of North India) it ends on the full moon. The bright half (Shukla paksha) has the same month name in both, but the dark half (Krishna paksha) is named one month ahead in the purnimanta system — so Diwali’s new moon is Kartika Amavasya (purnimanta) and Ashwina Amavasya (amanta). It is the same day. We compute with amanta months and show both names for every Krishna-paksha day.

Which festivals are included?

The major pan-Indian festivals and several regional ones (Lohri, Pongal, Baisakhi, Onam, Chhath, Vasant Panchami and others), plus every Ekadashi, Purnima, Amavasya, Pradosh, Sankashti and Sankranti. It is not an exhaustive list of every regional observance. Solar festivals follow the Sun’s sidereal ingress (Sankranti); Onam follows the Thiruvonam nakshatra in the Malayalam month Chingam. Solar and lunar eclipses are listed for 2026–2030, with whether each is visible from New Delhi.
