FAQ
What calendar system does the Kannada Panchanga follow?

Does this calendar include Karnataka Government holidays?
Yes, the list includes major public holidays declared by the Government of Karnataka, such as Kannada Rajyotsava (Nov 1), Basava Jayanthi (Apr 20), and Kanakadasa Jayanthi (Nov 27).
Why are there no marriage dates in January 2026?
In January 2026, there are no auspicious marriage muhurats due to Shukra Moodha (Combustion of Venus), a planetary position considered inauspicious for weddings in Vedic astrology.
Is it okay to plan a wedding without a Muhurat?
In Kannada tradition, it is strongly recommended to plan a wedding during a Shubh Muhurat to ensure harmony and prosperity. However, you should consult a local astrologer to find the best date tailored to your specific birth chart (Kundali).
