Who publishes this site
kannadapanchanga.in is published by HappyMynds.
We are based around the Karnataka / Bangalore context: Indian Standard Time (IST), Southern Amanta (Chandramana) festival dating, and Kannada + English labels so families at home and abroad can read the same calendar.
Contact for corrections and feedback: happy.mynds@gmail.com · Contact page.
We do not claim to be a temple board, government gazette office, or a substitute for your family priest or a qualified jyotishi. We publish a clear, usable reference layer — and we say so openly.
Why we built Kannada Panchanga
Most households still ask the same questions every week: What is today’s festival? When is Rahu Kala? Is this month good for a wedding booking? Which Ekadashi is coming? Print Panchangas and scattered WhatsApp forwards answer some of that — but they are hard to search, hard to share, and often mixed with ads or unrelated astrology spam.
Our goal is narrower and more useful: a fast, mobile-friendly, no-login site where Kannada speakers can check the year’s main dates, understand why some months have no marriage muhurat, and read short educational guides (how to read a Panchanga, Rahu Kala vs Yamaganda, festival planning) in plain language.
How we compile dates (methodology)
Calendar work is only trustworthy if the method is transparent. Here is how we build the 2026 dataset:
- Tradition: Southern Amanta / Chandramana lunar months as commonly used in Kannada Panchanga practice across Karnataka (month ends on Amavasya).
- Timezone: All civil dates and day labels use Bangalore / India Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30). If you live abroad, convert civil dates carefully around midnight IST.
- Festival & tithi list: Cross-checked against commonly followed Kannada/Hindu almanac listings for 2026 (major festivals, Ekadashi names, Amavasya / Hunnime, and Karnataka-relevant observances). Where a festival spans midnight or temples disagree by one day, we note the civil date we list and recommend local confirmation.
- Public holidays: Marked as indicative. Official leave lists are decided by government gazette / employer circulars — always verify before booking leave.
- Marriage muhurat windows: Month-wise Shubh date lists commonly used for Karnataka planning, with clear reasons for closed months (e.g. Shukra Moodha, Pitru Paksha, Navaratri). These are planning windows, not a personalized Lagna.
- Rahu Kala / Choghadiya: Weekday-based traditional tables for daytime, with approximate sunrise–sunset assumptions for Bangalore unless stated otherwise.
If you find an error, email us with the date, what your temple/Panchanga shows, and your city. We aim to review genuine corrections within a few working days.

Editorial standards
- Accuracy over hype — we do not invent “guaranteed” muhurat or medical/financial predictions.
- Clear disclaimers — festival and muhurat pages state general-reference limits; see also our Disclaimer and Terms.
- Bilingual usefulness — Kannada names with English equivalents so diaspora families and younger readers can share the same page.
- Corrections welcome — we prefer fixing a date to defending a wrong one.
- No personal kundali service on this site — we may point you to consult a local astrologer; we do not sell matching or remedies as professional advice here.
