December 2026 — year-end Panchanga
Margashira observances, Subramanya Shashti, Vaikunta Ekadashi, and Christmas (national holiday on our list) share the month. Cooler weather in much of Karnataka helps wedding guests; popular halls still sell out because November–December is peak season.
Vaikunta Ekadashi (21 December)
Major Vaishnava temples see extraordinary queues for Vaikunta Dwara darshan. Arrive early, follow temple instructions, and do not treat crowd crushing as devotion. Household Ekadashi food rules still apply for those who observe at home — Ekadashi guide.
Subramanya Shashti (14 December)
Important for Subramanya / Kartikeya devotees, with pilgrimages to relevant kshetras for some families. Check travel and leave if you plan a temple trip.
Year-end weddings
December Shubh dates on our list are labelled year-end opportunities. Book early; combine with Christmas/new-year guest travel carefully so ceremonies do not collide with airport chaos. List: Marriage Muhurat 2026.
Looking ahead
After 31 December the civil year rolls, but Kannada festival logic continues into January Sankranti. Return to January 2026 or the home calendar for the next cycle. Methodology: About.
How to use this December page

Christmas, leave & mixed calendars
Christmas appears on our holiday-oriented rows because schools and many offices close — useful when Hindu and civil calendars share a household. Couples marrying in late December should tell outstation guests which days are ceremony vs sightseeing so flights do not collide with midnight temple queues. Keep one shared spreadsheet of civil dates from this site plus your pandit’s Lagna hours.
December FAQ
Is Christmas on the Hindu Panchanga?
It appears as a national holiday row for leave planning alongside Hindu dates.
Temple crowds:
Vaikunta Ekadashi is not the day to “just drop in” at major Vaishnava kshetras without a plan.
