Kannada Panchanga March 2026 | ಮಾರ್ಚ್ ಪಂಚಾಂಗ
March 2026 is one of the richest months in the Kannada year: Holi (3–4 Mar), Ugadi — Kannada New Year (19 Mar), and Sri Rama Navami (26 Mar). Chaitra begins around Ugadi. Plan leave, travel, and wedding shortlists carefully around festival crowds.

March 2026 — festival density
Few months pack as much cultural traffic as March 2026. Holi colours the start of the month; Ugadi resets the Kannada lunar year; Rama Navami follows within a week. Amavasya near Ugadi and Kamada Ekadashi also appear on our list. If you manage a household or temple programme, print the static festival list below and mark travel days in ink.
Holi / Phalguna observances (3–4 March)
Our table lists Phalguna Hunnime / Holi context on 3 March and Holi / Kamadahana on 4 March. Regional play with colours and bonfire customs vary. Keep society rules and children’s safety in mind; treat these as social festivals more than muhurat events.
Ugadi — 19 March 2026 (Thursday)
Ugadi is the Kannada New Year: pachadi, torana, Panchanga shravana, and elder blessings. Deep guide: Ugadi 2026. Share the civil date with diaspora relatives as “Thursday 19 March 2026 IST” to avoid timezone confusion.
Markets for neem flowers and raw mango spike on the 18th–19th — buy early if you cook at home.
Sri Rama Navami (26 March)
Rama Navami temple programmes and processions can close roads near major shrines. If your wedding shortlist sits in March, keep festival weeks clear of baraat routes when possible. Our muhurat list shows March windows mainly before Ugadi — coordinate with your pandit.
March FAQ
Is Ugadi the same as Gudi Padwa?
Often the same lunar new-year day; rituals differ by region.
