Why do some festivals show two dates?
Hindu festivals follow the Panchang, a lunisolar calendar. When a tithi (lunar day) starts or ends near sunrise, regions and traditions can observe the festival on different days, so we show both.
Dates cross-checked against Samvat: Hindu festivals 2027 and HinduPad: Hindu festivals 2027. Local dates can vary by city and tradition; check with your temple or family panchang.
