Hindu Calendar January to December 2025: Dates, festivals, and tithis

Hindu Calendar 2025 with Holidays & Festivals: The Hindu calendar is a perfect mix of tradition and science, bringing a sense of harmony between daily life and the movements of the cosmos. It’s built on a balance of lunar and solar cycles, guiding everything from celebrations and rituals to farming seasons across India. Each month begins with a specific lunar day (tithi), tying spiritual and cultural practices to the natural rhythms of the universe in a way that feels both practical and deeply meaningful.

In 2025, the calendar promises a year full of meaningful celebrations and astronomical events. Major festivals like Diwali, Holi, and Navratri take centre stage, while regional favourites such as Pongal, Onam, and Chhath Puja showcase India’s cultural diversity. These aren’t just dates—they’re moments of devotion, joy, and community. The calendar also marks key solar events like Uttarayana, the sun’s northward journey, and Karka Sankranti, a time for new beginnings. Monthly observances such as Chaturthi, dedicated to Lord Ganesha, and Purnima, tied to sacred rituals, offer constant reminders of tradition. Every occasion reflects gratitude, unity, and spirituality.
