India's morning begins with one sheet.
The wall tear-off calendar, reborn for your phone — today's date in your region's calendar, full Panchang, Auspicious Time (Shubh Muhurat), Rahu Kaal, festivals and holidays. Pick your city and language; every timing below is calculated for that city.
Timings are an approximate observational-style calculation for the selected city (sunrise-based). For weddings and temple rituals, confirm with your family almanac (panchang) / priest — the Vakya and observational methods can differ by a day for some observances.

Every Region, One Calendar
India keeps many calendars at once. The sheet above already shows six of them for the selected date — here's what each one is.
Festivals & Holidays 2026–27
Major festivals and Central Government gazetted holidays, all traditions together. Dates marked * are expected dates — confirm with your local almanac (panchang); Islamic dates are additionally subject to moon sighting. Search or filter by tradition.
Marriage Muhurat Dates
Good dates for eight ceremonies, November 2026 – October 2027, computed from the rules stated in 'How we calculate'. Dates are for Chennai (IST) sunrise. Tap a date to see its sheet. Final muhurat must match both birth stars — confirm with your priest.
Griha Pravesh (Housewarming)
Housewarming follows the same waxing-moon (Shukla Paksha) muhurat days — pick any circled date above, avoiding Rahu Kaal on the day.
Vehicle & Business
Weekday guide: vehicle purchase favours Mon / Wed / Fri; new business starts favour Pushya, Rohini and Uttara Phalguni nakshatra days shown in the daily sheet.
Naming Ceremony
Traditionally on day 11, 16 or 21 after birth, or the next muhurat day — use the Days Between tool below to count from the birth date.
Fasting Days (Vrat) & Special Days — Coming Up
Calculated live from the selected date's tithi — the next Ekadashi, Purnima (Full Moon), Amavasya (New Moon) and Pradosham for devotees who keep these observances.
Today's Horoscope
General daily guidance for the 12 moon signs, based on the day's nakshatra. For personal predictions, a full birth-chart (kundli) reading is needed.

Create Your Horoscope — Kundli
India reads birth charts two ways. Pick your region and we draw the chart your family tradition uses — the South Indian square chart or the North Indian diamond chart — in a Quick version (chart + key details) or a Detailed Kundli (planetary positions, Navamsa, Vimshottari Dasha and dosha check), the way leading astrology sites present it.
▦ South Indian Chart
Used in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka. The 12 rashis sit in fixed squares — Mesha (Aries) is always top row, second from left — and the planets move through them. Lagna is marked “La” inside its rashi box.
◆ North Indian Chart
Used across North India, Maharashtra, Bengal, Gujarat and Odisha. The 12 houses (bhavas) are fixed in the diamond — Lagna is always the top-centre house — and the rashi numbers move with your ascendant.
Quick chart + Moon sign (Rasi), Nakshatra and a short reading. Birth date, time of birth and birth city are all mandatory — Lagna changes with time and place, so no horoscope is generated without them.
Fields marked * are mandatory — for both Quick and Detailed. No horoscope is generated without date of birth, time of birth and birth city: Lagna (Ascendant) is calculated from the exact time and place of birth.
Positions are approximate sidereal (Lahiri) calculations made in your browser, in the same spirit as this site's panchang — for an official kundli for marriage matching or major decisions, have it cast by your family astrologer with exact ephemeris tables.

About Indian Daily Calendar
Indian Daily Calendar (indiandailycalendar.com) is a free daily panchang and calendar for India and the Indian diaspora. For any date and any of more than 18,000 cities worldwide, it calculates the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana at sunrise, the auspicious time (Shubh Muhurat), Abhijit Muhurat, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal, Choghadiya and Hora, moonrise and moonset, and the day's festival.
It also offers a month calendar, festival and holiday lists for 2026–27, muhurat dates for eight ceremonies, a fasting-day (vrat) finder with Ekadasi parana and Sankashti moonrise, daily, weekly and monthly horoscopes, a free kundli (birth chart) generator, kundli matching in the Ashtakuta, Tamil Porutham and Kerala systems, free PDF reports, planetary transit (peyarchi) dates and eclipse dates. The whole site works in 12 languages — English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Odia, Punjabi and Assamese — and every chart is drawn in the selected language.
Method: observational astronomy with the Lahiri ayanamsa. A panchang day runs from local sunrise to the next local sunrise, and all timings use the selected city's own sunrise, sunset and time zone. Calculations run entirely in the visitor's browser — no account is needed, and birth details never leave the device. Timings are approximate; for weddings and temple rituals, confirm with your family almanac (panchang) or priest. One exception to know about: this page's typefaces load from Google Fonts, so your browser fetches the font files from Google. Nothing you enter or calculate is ever sent anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is today's tithi and nakshatra?
The sheet at the top of this page shows today's tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana for your selected city, read at local sunrise, together with the time each one ends. Change the city or the date and the sheet recalculates instantly.
What is today's auspicious time (Shubh Muhurat)?
The auspicious window and Abhijit Muhurat are printed on the daily sheet for your city, calculated from that city's sunrise and sunset. The times to avoid — Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika Kaal — are shown on the same sheet, clearly marked.
How is Rahu Kaal calculated?
The daylight between local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts. Which part is Rahu Kaal depends on the weekday — for example, the 2nd part on Monday and the 7th part on Tuesday. Because it uses your city's real sunrise and sunset, the Rahu Kaal here is specific to your city, not a fixed clock time.
Which ayanamsa does the kundli use?
All sidereal positions — in the daily panchang and in birth charts — use the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard for most Indian almanacs. The exact ayanamsa value used is printed on every detailed horoscope.
Is the kundli (horoscope) free?
Yes. The birth chart, kundli matching and the PDF reports are completely free, with no account and no email. Everything is calculated on your own device, so your birth details never leave your phone or computer.
Does it work for births outside India?
Yes. The city database covers more than 18,000 cities and towns in 244 countries. A birth outside India is cast in the birthplace's own local time zone, daylight saving included, and the result prints the city, country and time zone used.
Which languages and calendars does it support?
The full site works in 12 languages: English, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Odia, Punjabi and Assamese. The regional calendar on the sheet follows your language — Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, Odia, Assamese and Nanakshahi solar calendars, and the Amanta and Purnimanta lunar calendars — alongside the Shaka and Hijri dates.
Why can a date differ from my printed panchang?
This site uses the observational astronomy method; some printed panchangs follow the older Vakya tables, and a festival can fall a day apart between the two. Regional conventions also differ, and Islamic festival dates depend on the local sighting of the moon. For weddings and temple rituals, confirm with your family almanac or priest.
