Upcoming Festivals & Vrat
Major auspicious festivals, Ekadashi, Purnima and Pradosh dates
Makar Sankranti
Makar Sankranti marks the sun's entry into Capricorn and the turn toward longer days. It is one of the few major Hindu observances fixed to the solar calendar, so 14 January 2026 is shared across most of India — Pongal, Magh Bihu, and Uttarayan are sister names. In Rajasthan the day is kite-filled terraces, til-gud, and donations. Temples run special pujas at sunrise. Because the sankranti moment is astronomical, city longitude still shifts the exact clock time; use your local panchang rather than a single national clock. Open today's city panchang for 14 January to place sunrise, the sankranti window, and rahu kalam before you fly kites or start a daan.
Vasant Panchami
Vasant Panchami is Magha Shukla Panchami, dedicated to Saraswati. Students place books and instruments before the goddess; families wear yellow and offer kheer and early spring flowers. In Rajasthan the day also opens a season of pre-Holi folk singing. The 2026 date is 23 January. Muhurat for Saraswati puja is usually the first half of the day, so sunrise and rahu kalam on your city panchang matter more than a generic national slot. Use the panchang for your selected Rajasthan city on 23 January before school puja or a new learning start.
Nagaur Fair
Nagaur Fair (Nagaur Pashu Mela) is one of Marwar's largest cattle fairs, held beside the Ahhichatragarh Fort in Nagaur. Traders bring camels, horses, oxen, and cows from villages across western Rajasthan. The grounds fill with folk music, turban-tying contests, camel races, and evening cultural programmes. For Marwar families the fair is both a market and a social season: marriages are discussed, livestock changes hands, and visitors from Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Ajmer camp for several days. In 2026 the official programme runs 24–27 January; we list the opening day so you can open that morning's panchang for Nagaur before travel. Check sunrise, rahu kalam, and a shubh choghadiya on the Nagaur panchang if you are starting the journey or a new purchase on the fair's first morning.
Desert Festival Jaisalmer
The Desert Festival (Maru Mahotsav) is Jaisalmer's winter showcase of Thar culture. Processions move from the golden fort and Gadisar Lake toward the stadium; later programmes shift to the Sam dunes with camel polo, turban and moustache contests, folk dance, and desert sports. In 2026 the festival is scheduled from 30 January to 1 February. It sits in the Marwar–Thar belt, not the lake country of Mewar, and draws visitors who want folk performance rather than a temple calendar day. Locals still treat the opening morning as an auspicious start to the tourist week. Open the Jaisalmer panchang for 30 January to see sunrise over the fort, rahu kalam, and a favourable choghadiya before you join the first procession.
Maha Shivaratri
Maha Shivaratri is the great night of Shiva, observed on Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi — 15 February 2026. Devotees fast, keep vigil, and offer bel patra through four night prahars. Rajasthan's Shiva shrines at Eklingji (Mewar), Karni Mata's region, and countless village shivlings fill after sunset. Nishita kaal, not the civil date alone, decides the core puja. That window moves with longitude, so Jaipur and Jaisalmer will not match to the minute. Open your city's panchang for 15 February for sunset, nishita, and the night choghadiya if you plan a temple visit after dark.
Holi
Holi, the festival of colours, is played on Phalguna Purnima's following morning — 4 March 2026 in most North Indian calendars. Holika Dahan is the previous evening (3 March). Rajasthan adds its own grain: Lathmar-style play in some towns, gur-thandai, and temple colours at Nathdwara after the Mewar calendar. The purnima-to-pratipada shift means the bonfire night and the colour morning are two panchang days. Travellers should not collapse them into one date. Read your city panchang for 3 March (dahan) and 4 March (colour play) for tithi end, rahu kalam, and a calmer window if you have a family puja before the street play starts.

Common panchang questions
- What is Rahu Kalam?
- Rahu Kalam is an inauspicious period of the daytime, calculated by splitting sunrise-to-sunset into eight equal parts. The weekday decides which part is Rahu Kalam. Most families in Rajasthan avoid starting new work, travel, or ceremonies during this window. On Apna Panchang it is shown as a start and end time for your selected city.
- How do I read Choghadiya?
- Choghadiya divides the day and the night into eight watches each. Amrit, Shubh, and Labh are generally favourable; Char is mixed; Rog, Kaal, and Udveg are usually avoided for new beginnings. Day choghadiya runs from sunrise to sunset; night choghadiya runs from sunset to the next sunrise. Pick a GOOD watch that also falls outside Rahu Kalam when you can.
- What is tithi in the Hindu panchang?
- Tithi is the lunar day, based on the angle between the sun and the moon. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month — 15 in Shukla Paksha (waxing) and 15 in Krishna Paksha (waning). A tithi can begin or end at any clock time, so the panchang also shows when today's tithi ends for your city.
- What is nakshatra?
- Nakshatra is the lunar mansion — one of 27 divisions of the sky that the moon moves through. It is used for naming, muhurat, and daily observance. Like tithi, a nakshatra can change during the calendar day, so we list both the name at sunrise and the end time.
- Why does aaj ka panchang change by city?
- Sunrise and sunset depend on latitude and longitude. Rahu Kalam, Gulika, Yamaganda, Abhijit muhurat, and choghadiya are all derived from those local times, so Jaipur and Jodhpur will not match minute-for-minute. Tithi and nakshatra names are usually the same across Rajasthan, but their end times can differ slightly.
