Several people have requested our calendar in the Tamil script. To help determine if there is enough demand for a calendar in Tamil please send an email.
iCal, Outlook and Google calendar format calendars are now available for most cities for 2011-2012. Look for the city with the (iCal) next to it. The file is in iCalendar format and can be imported into iCal, Outlook and Google calendars. Mac OSX Lion users: iCal 5.0.1 has a bug which imports multiple copies of the panchangam events. Currently there is no fix from Apple, but if you need the panchangam on iCal when using Lion, place your order, and then send an email request to books@hindu.org. We shall then send you eight separate files which can be uploaded into iCal.
To learn how to import into Google calendar read the help page.

Planning for life in tune with the universe. The Hindu Calendar has Hindu festivals, nakshatra, tithi, rahukala, pradosh, yoga, sunrise/sunset and more. It is a sophisticated tool for planning, not unlike a western farmer's almanac. It provides vital information about astrological factors, planets and stars--aspects of our subtle environment which are unseen but strongly felt. With this esoteric knowledge at our disposal, we come to understand the characteristics of the planets and the stars and how they relate to the human psyche. Read more about the panchangam...

Please note that each panchangam is calculated for standard time, not daylight savings time. Also, our Hindu calendar follows a traditional South Indian new year which begins approximately April 15th.
Until your city or country is listed here, you can calculate the ending times of nakshatras, tithis, yogas etc. in your location by simply adding or subtracting from the times in one of the calendars listed above. (This does not apply to sunrise, sunset or the kalas).
