Spotlight on April 2026’s Major Festivals
Hanuman Jayanti 2026 – Strength and Devotion
Hanuman Jayanti falls on Wednesday, 1st April 2026, on the auspicious Chaitra Purnima. In Maharashtra, this day is celebrated with immense devotion. Devotees rise early, apply sindoor and oil, and visit Hanuman temples. The ritual of reading the Sunderkand and offering boondi prasad is especially popular. The Kalnirnay calendar marks the exact Purnima tithi and its ending time, so you can ensure your puja is performed within the correct period.
Mesha Sankranti & Baisakhi 2026 – A Pan‑Indian New Year
On Tuesday, 14th April 2026, the Sun transits into Mesha (Aries), marking the solar New Year across numerous Indian states. This day is known as Baisakhi in Punjab, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, Vishu in Kerala, and Pana Sankranti in Odisha. In Maharashtra, it’s simply called Mesha Sankranti. It’s a day for holy dips, donating to the needy, and preparing festive dishes. Kalnirnay highlights the precise Sankranti moment, so you know exactly when to perform the punyakal rituals.
Akshaya Tritiya 2026 – The Eternal Auspicious Day
Akshaya Tritiya is on Sunday, 19th April 2026. This is one of the most celebrated tithis in the Hindu calendar. The word “Akshaya” means that which never diminishes — so any merit, charity, or investment made on this day multiplies without decay. It’s the most popular day for buying gold and silver. Couples who wish to get married but cannot find a suitable muhurat later can wed on Akshaya Tritiya without even consulting an astrologer. The Kalnirnay PDF clearly marks the entire day as highly auspicious, and many families use it to perform griha pravesh, start new ventures, or initiate children into education (Vidyarambha).
Ganga Saptami & Narasimha Jayanti – Divine Descents
Ganga Saptami (23rd April) marks the rebirth of the holy river Ganga on earth. A dip in the Ganga or even sprinkling Ganga jal at home is said to wash away sins of many lifetimes. Narasimha Jayanti (29th April) appears on Vaishakha Shukla Chaturdashi and is observed with a fast that ends at twilight — the time when Lord Narasimha emerged from a pillar to save Prahlad. Both these tithis are precisely detailed in the Kalnirnay calendar, along with the puja muhurat.
