About the 2019 festival dates

Hindu festival dates are not fixed to the Gregorian calendar — they are determined by the tithi, and a tithi begins and ends at a specific moment rather than at midnight. A festival is therefore assigned to the day on which its governing tithi prevails at the relevant time, which is sunrise for most observances but moonrise, sunset or midnight for others. This is why a festival can fall on different dates in different regions, and why the dates here are computed for New Delhi rather than copied from a printed panchang.

Open any festival date to see that day's full panchang, including the specific muhurat window its ritual requires — Pradosh Kaal for Lakshmi Puja, Nishita Kaal for Janmashtami, Madhyahna for Ganesh Chaturthi, and the post-Bhadra window for Raksha Bandhan and Holika Dahan.
