August Festivals
Religious and cultural festivals follow solar calendars, pure lunar calendars, or lunisolar rules—so dates shift differently across traditions. This calendar consolidates major observances for planning.
Solar vs lunar calendars
Christian fixed dates (Christmas, Easter cycle) and some Hindu solar events (Makar Sankranti) stay on predictable Gregorian dates or narrow windows.
Islamic festivals follow the Hijri lunar calendar and shift earlier each Gregorian year. Hindu lunisolar festivals like Diwali and Holi move based on lunar months.
Using this calendar
Filter by religion to focus one tradition or view all. The grid highlights festival days; the list below shows every observance for the selected year sorted by date.
Dates are hand-curated from published almanacs and religious authorities—not algorithmically generated for lunar events.
Traditions covered
Hindu, Islamic, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jewish major festivals are included, plus regional observances like Onam, Pongal, and Durga Puja.
Always verify locally for moon-sighting announcements (especially Eid) and community-specific variations.
