Kannada Calendar — Kartika 2026
Karnataka’s panchanga, read from Bengaluru. Its near-equatorial latitude keeps day length — and therefore the sunrise-measured windows — remarkably steady through the year, unlike the wide summer-to-winter swing of the north.
Kartika runs 10 Nov – 8 Dec 2026 — the amanta (new moon to new moon) month. Timings are computed for Bengaluru; the tithi and the month hold across India. Ritu: Autumn.

FAQ
Which reckoning does the Kannada calendar use?
Amanta — new moon to new moon, the same cut as the Telugu, Marathi and Gujarati calendars.
When does the Kannada year begin?
At Yugadi, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada — the opening day of the first amanta month.
Why is the month name sometimes different from a North Indian panchang?
In the waning fortnight the purnimanta reckoning names the days after the coming month, so it reads one month ahead. Both agree through the bright fortnight, and neither moves a festival date.
Does the calendar change between Bengaluru and, say, Mangaluru?
The tithi and month do not — they are the same across India. Sunrise and every window measured from it do shift with longitude, which is why the timings here are computed for Bengaluru.
