Introducing the Festival Date Calculator

Indian festival dates shift every year because most follow the lunar Hindu Panchang — which makes planning travel and leave a year ahead surprisingly hard. The new Festival Date Calculator puts the dates for 2025, 2026, and 2027 in one place, each with its weekday and a countdown.

What it does

• Multi-year dates: every major festival for 2025–2027.
• Weekday + countdown: see at a glance whether Diwali falls on a weekend.
• Filter by type: Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, or National.
• Next festival: the soonest upcoming one is highlighted automatically.
• Client-side: uses a built-in dataset — nothing is uploaded.

Why it matters

Knowing whether a festival lands on a weekend can decide a whole trip. A multi-year view with weekdays and countdowns turns “when is Diwali next year?” into a one-second lookup.
