Indian Calendar Converter

Convert Between Gregorian and Indian Calendars

Trying to find out when Diwali falls on the Gregorian calendar? Or maybe you’ve got a historical date in Saka Samvat and need the matching modern format? This calendar converter is built to make all that surprisingly easy. Whether you're syncing up holidays, planning cultural events, or just curious how the Indian calendars line up with your usual one, this tool does the job without the fuss.

Why this calendar converter stands out

This tool doesn’t just switch between Indian and Gregorian dates—it gives you the full picture. It supports both of India’s key lunisolar calendars: Saka Samvat (used officially) and Vikram Samvat (widely followed in religious and cultural contexts). You can convert dates in both directions, see the corresponding Gregorian equivalent, and even view moon phase (Paksha), season (Ritu), and Hindi-script output. It’s a blend of tradition and utility, all in one spot.

How to use it: Quick steps

1. Pick your direction

At the heart of the converter are two main paths:

• Gregorian to Indian: Plug in a modern date and see its Indian calendar version.
• Indian to Gregorian: Input a year, month, and day in Saka or Vikram format to find the matching Gregorian date.

2. Enter your date

Depending on the direction you choose:

• If you’re starting with a Gregorian date, use the calendar input and select your timezone.
• If you’re starting with an Indian date, fill in the year, select the month (from Chaitra to Phalguna), and type the day.

3. Choose the calendar system

You’ll see a choice between Saka Samvat and Vikram Samvat. Select the one you're working with, and the converter will format results accordingly.

4. Hit “Convert Calendar”

Just click the button (with the 🕉️ symbol), and your converted date will appear instantly. You’ll also get extra details like the season, moon phase, and versions of the date in Hindi script and full-length formats.

Beyond basic conversion: What else it offers

Live time updates

The tool shows you the current time, and today’s date across all three systems—Gregorian, Saka Samvat, and Vikram Samvat—automatically updated. A toggle lets you switch between 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

Rich detail in every result

Once your date is converted, you'll get more than just a number:

• Calendar label: Whether it’s a Saka, Vikram, or Gregorian date
• Formatted versions: Full date text in English and Hindi
• Season (Ritu): What part of the year it falls in (Spring, Monsoon, etc.)
• Paksha info: Whether the day is part of the waxing or waning moon

Auto-conversion as you type

You don’t need to press the convert button each time. As soon as you've entered enough info for a valid conversion, the tool jumps into action on its own.

Helpful validation

If a date doesn’t make sense—for example, entering a day that doesn’t exist in a particular month—the tool catches it and lets you know what needs fixing.

Common situations where it comes in handy

• Festival planning: Want to know when Diwali, Holi, or Makar Sankranti happens on the Western calendar?
• Genealogy research: Converting dates from old records or temple inscriptions?
• School projects or event posters: Need to include both date formats with accurate regional context?
• Spiritual or cultural observance: Align your schedule with Hindu lunar events like Amavasya or Purnima.

Keep your dates straight—without flipping between calendars

Whether you're working on a history project, planning a puja, or just curious about your birthday in Vikram Samvat, this calendar converter gives you the answer in a clear, organized way. It’s fast, accurate, and includes all the extra context most converters skip. With this at your fingertips, juggling time zones and cultural calendars becomes a whole lot simpler.
