About DesiDay

Last updated: 12 October 2026

DesiDay is a free, India-first calendar by DesiTechnology. It shows the Gregorian date together with the Indian National Calendar (Saka), verified public holidays, sunrise and sunset, and a private personal planner.

Our promise: verified dates only

Festival dates in India can differ by region, tradition and calculation method. We do not guess. Every holiday we show comes from an official source, and we link that source.

Data sources

• Central Government holidays 2026: Gazetted holiday list issued under DoPT orders. View source (PDF)
• Saka dates: Calculated with the rules of the Indian National Calendar (Chaitra 1 = 22 March, or 21 March in a leap year).
• Sunrise and sunset: Calculated on your device with the standard astronomical sunrise equation. Times may differ by 1–2 minutes from other sources.
• Dhamma days: Fixed-date anniversaries: Ambedkar Jayanti (14 April), Dhamma Diksha Day (14 October 1956), Mahaparinirvan Din (6 December).
