Hindu Calendar September 2025 – Festivals, Panchang, and Important Dates
Understanding the Hindu Calendar (Panchang)
The Hindu calendar, also called the Panchang, is a lunar-solar system that guides festivals, rituals, and auspicious timings. It is based on the movement of both the Moon and the Sun, unlike the purely solar or lunar calendars.
Key Components of the Panchang:
- Tithi (Lunar Day): Marks phases of the Moon – Shukla Paksha (waxing) and Krishna Paksha (waning).
- Nakshatra (Stars/Constellations): 27 divisions of the zodiac, each with spiritual significance.
- Yoga: Combination of Sun and Moon positions, influencing auspicious/inauspicious timings.
- Karana: Half of a Tithi, used for muhurta (timing).
- Vaar (Weekday): Each day dedicated to a deity (e.g., Monday – Shiva, Friday – Lakshmi).
Devotees consult the Panchang to know when to observe fasts, celebrate festivals, or perform pujas.
