Samvat is a free Hindu Panchang, calendar, and festival planning app built to make traditional dates easier to understand and use.

Purpose

Samvat helps people check daily Tithi, Nakshatra, Panchang, festival dates, Muhurat windows, and Hindu calendar years with the relevant date and location context.

Each result explains the calendar rule or local timing that produced it, so differences between cities and traditions are easier to understand.

Who It Is For

Samvat is for people who want today's Panchang quickly, families planning festivals and vratas, diaspora users who need local solar timings, and learners studying how Hindu calendars work.

The calendar is free to use and its calculations are maintained as reusable software rather than a closed date feed.

Product Scope

Samvat calculates astronomical positions, calendar dates, Panchang limbs, rule-based festival dates, and traditional time classifications.

Its Jyotisha tools remain calculation-focused: Kundli, Navamsa, Vimshottari Dasha, Gochara, Graha Drishti, and a limited set of source-bound yoga formations. It does not offer personal predictions, guaranteed outcomes, remedial prescriptions, matchmaking, or human consultation.

Living Traditions

Hindu observances can differ by region, sampradaya, temple, city, and family practice. A transparent calculation can explain its answer without claiming that one convention replaces every tradition.

When dates differ, compare the location, timezone, lunar month system, and observance moment before treating the difference as an error.
