About the Punjabi calendar
The Punjabi (Desi, Bikrami) calendar counts solar months from Sangrand, the day the Sun enters a sidereal sign; Vaisakhi is 1 Vaisakh. Puranmashi (full moon) and Massya (new moon) come from the lunar tithi. The fixed-date Nanakshahi calendar published for Sikh observances can differ by a day or two.
Questions people ask
What is today's date in the Punjabi calendar?
Today, Thursday, 12 November 2026, is 27 Kattak. This page is updated every morning.
Why do Punjabi 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 Punjabi calendar?
Tithi and nakshatra are those running at sunrise in Amritsar; 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.
