  • Dipika's Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at Pray That You Are Well
    Dipika©s Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at www.dipika.org.za pray that you are well... Many thanks for remaining an awesome Hindu¼ Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates and Rahu kalam . *** Do note that SOME of the information given below for the festival dates is from the S.A.H.M.S. We don't take any responsibility for the information supplied by them. We ONLY have done this for Hindu uniformity within South Africa. Should you have any issues with their dates below please do contact them on 031 3091951 or email [email protected] ***. {Another point of note is when you see a * before a prayer date it means this is not in the general Hindu calendar that Hindus have in their homes. I have added these dates because these are equally important prayer dates that sadly seems to be ignored every year.} DO NOTE:- All times indicated below, associated with the start or end of a religious day are in 24-hour format. Firstly the Festival dates are the dates that a Hindu observes. This is quite self explanatory. For example for Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, we have a full explanation of this very important festival date on our website. Many ask what is this festival all about and how does one go about celebrating it. Hence this website is meant to make people from all cultures more aware of these important Hindu festival dates.
