About the Malayalam calendar
The Malayalam calendar (Kollavarsham, the Kollam Era) is a solar calendar. A month begins when the Sun enters a sidereal sign, counted from the same day if that happens in the first three-fifths of daytime. The year begins on Chingam 1 in mid-August.
Questions people ask
What is today's date in the Malayalam calendar?
Today, Thursday, 12 November 2026, is 26 Thulam, Kollam Era 1202. This page is updated every morning.
Why do Malayalam months not start on the same English date every year?
Each month starts when the Sun enters a new sidereal zodiac sign (sankranti). That moment shifts by a few hours every year, so the first day can move by one day.
How accurate is this Malayalam calendar?
Tithi and nakshatra are those running at sunrise in Thiruvananthapuram; the moon shape is for 8 PM. Printed almanacs can differ by a day where a tithi or sankranti falls close to the cut-off, so check your local panchang for important dates.
