Nirnay & Calendar 2025-26 - Gujarati Calendar & Festivals

Nirnay, Gujarati Calendar 2025

This is a straightforward Gujarati (Hindu) calendar that mimics the traditional printed format while incorporating interactive features for users to explore detailed information about specific dates. It assists in identifying when the next Ekadashi will occur, what the Paksha (Sud or Vad) is on given days, and when the upcoming Poonam (Full Moon) or Amavasya takes place, among numerous other Hindu events represented visually. Thanks to the use of images to illustrate key events, even those who do not read Gujarati can navigate this application easily.

In Vedic timekeeping, a tithi refers to a lunar day—specifically, the interval required for the angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis start at different times each day and last anywhere from approximately 19 to 26 hours. Thus, tithi plays a crucial role in the Indian Almanac or Panchang, as many Hindu festivals and rituals are based on it. The Hindu calendar's framework is derived from the moon's cycles, with each lunar year containing twelve months and totaling 354 days. This contrasts with the standard Gregorian calendar, which has 365 ¼ days because it follows the solar system. To reconcile the lunar and solar years, an extra month, referred to as Adhik Maas (Additional Month), is inserted into the Hindu calendar once every three years. Every moment in Vedic timekeeping is categorized as a Muhrat, which can be either favorable or unfavorable based on the nakshatra and tithi. While this may sound complex, the Nirnay Android App streamlines both the lunar and solar calendars into a user-friendly format, allowing us to quickly ascertain ideal times for celebrating Hindu festivals and undertaking various religious (and non-religious) activities during auspicious Muhurats.
