Festive Calendar Shifts This Year: Gurgaon Astrologer Pt. Pawan Kaushik With 30+ Years of Practice Explains Why

Gurgaon (Haryana) [India], October 12: With Sharad Navratri beginning on 11 October and Diwali following on 8 November, households across Delhi NCR are turning to the panchang to plan the weeks ahead. This year’s festive calendar falls later than 2025’s because of an extra lunar month, Adhik Maas. For Pt. Pawan Kaushik, an astrologer in Gurgaon, the season arrives as he completes more than 30 years of practice in Vedic astrology.

Why the Dates Shift

The Hindu calendar follows lunar months, so festival dates move on the Gregorian calendar each year. An additional month is added roughly every three years to keep festivals aligned with their seasons. Pt. Pawan Kaushik says that in such years, families often assume dates will match the previous year’s and end up mis-planning pujas, purchases and travel.

“Dhanteras and Lakshmi Puja depend on the tithi and local sunset,” he explains. “The same festival can be observed a day apart in different cities, so people should check locally calculated timings.”
