The meaning of Kalnirnay is the decision of time. Jayraj Salgaonkar developed Kalnirnay in 1973. In 2021, 1.8 crore users used the Indian online Kalnirnay calendar to check their fasting dates, festivals, holidays, panchang, auspicious days, nakshatras, and sunset/sunrise times. Nowadays, people are technology-oriented; they prefer to gather all the information digitally. Users can now use the online calendar to see what they want to know about the upcoming months ahead, including their festivals or holidays.

The Kalnirnay calendar also provides us with the backside pages of the calendar, like religious stories, food recipes, articles, health and wellness tips, children’s content, bhavishya, spiritual guidance, finance and astrology articles, all of which contribute to enriching the knowledge. I’ll give you an example from food recipes, where users can easily make the same food through the recipe guidelines, helping them to cook with confidence, which is provided by the calendar.

The Kalnirnay calendar is easy to use because there is no need to log in and create an account. Users have to download it from our official website and be ready to start using it. Most of the users are Indian, who use it to update themselves about festivals and holidays. This calendar is available in 9 languages (Marathi, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Malayalam, Kannada, and English) for Indian users, which is very useful for better understanding.

This online calendar allows users to access multiple devices, such as smartphones, smart TVs, laptops, tablets, etc. It’s a combination of Indian traditional astrology with daily schedules. As we know, in a normal calendar, we haven’t mentioned our Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism religious practices and fasts (vrats), but with a few clicks, users can see every Indian religious date, for example, Ekadashi Fast, Guru Purnima, Mahashivratri, and many more festivals.

The Kalnirnay calendar has a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for users to navigate and use the online calendar. It features an intuitive design, with clear categories and search functionality to help users quickly plan their events, tasks, meetings, conferences, or holidays accordingly. Annually updated with a new edition, the next edition of the Kalnirnay calendar will be updated or launched on 31 December 2025 for the next year’s calendar. Users have the option to download the PDF for a separate month’s Kalnirnay calendar, which they require for their use.

Panchang and Auspicious Dates

The Kalnirnay calendar offers the panchang and Auspicious Dates, which are provided with daily astrological data like Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (star/constellation), yoga and Karan, Rahu Kaal and Gulik Kaal. This guides the many Indians in their culture, practice and religion. It’s also helpful for scheduling the wedding date, housewarming, naming ceremony and travel.

Sunrise & Sunset Timings

The online Kalnirnay calendar also notifies daily sunrise and sunset timings, which help in religious rituals like fasting, pooja, Karva Chauth, and Chhath Puja, because many rituals and fasts depend on the exact celestial timings. This makes it easy to know the exact sunrise, sunset, moonrise/ moonset timings, so users can plan their Muhurat or fasting. Also, users can plan for travel, events, or photography according to sunrise or sunset timings, an updated, automatic location-based feature.

Horoscope

Bhavishya is a popular feature for career insights, relationship tips, finance advice, health predictions, etc. It helps in making decisions before important life decisions because the Kalnirnay calendar sun-sign-based guide helps users to know what comes next in the upcoming month.
