Malayalam Calendar 2028
Every day of 2028 in the Malayalam calendar — Kollavarsham and Hijri dates, nakshatra, tithi, Rahu Kalam, Kerala festivals and holidays. Print it or add it to your phone calendar.
22 Malayalam date 26 Hijri date Amavasi Pournami ★ Auspicious day Public holiday * ends after midnight † by moon sighting — may move by a day
Hijri dates follow the sighting of the crescent. Months Kerala has not yet announced are placed where the crescent should first be visible, and can be a day out.
Muhurtham days are the ones that pass this site’s Panchangam rules for the star, tithi and weekday. They are a first sieve, not a fixed Muhurtham — that is set against the two horoscopes by an astrologer.
Marriage days leave out the months Kerala custom keeps clear of weddings: Karkidakam, Kanni, Dhanu and Kumbham, and the second half of Meenam.

About
Each day shows what a printed Kerala calendar shows: the English date, the Malayalam date beside it, the star (nakshatra) current at sunrise with the time it ends, and the tithi. A Malayalam month is the Sun’s stay in one sign; it begins on the day of the saṅkramam when that falls in the first three fifths of the daytime, and on the next day otherwise. The Kollavarsham year turns on 1 Chingam.
Open any day for the full Panchangam — yoga and karana, sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kalam, Gulika and Yamagandam, and the good windows left once those are set aside. Everything is computed from the ephemeris for Thiruvananthapuram rather than copied from a table, and each observance follows its own rule: the star at sunrise for Thiruvonam, the tithi at midnight for Shivaratri and Ashtami Rohini, at sunset for a Vavu.
