Shravan 2026 Start Date and End Date: Regional Calendars
Are you looking for the exact Shravan 2026 start date and end date? The holy month of Sawan is observed with great devotion across India, but the dates vary significantly depending on whether your region follows the Purnimanta or Amanta calendar.
Purnimanta vs Amanta Calendar 2026
In India, two main lunar calendars determine the dates of festivals like Shravan:
- Purnimanta Calendar: Ends the month on Purnima (Full Moon). Followed in North India (UP, MP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Delhi).
- Amanta Calendar: Ends the month on Amavasya (New Moon). Followed in South and West India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka, AP).
This is why the Shravan month 2026 start date in Gujarat differs from North India.
