The Kannada calendar, also known as the Kannada Panchangam, is a traditional calendar used in the Kannada-speaking regions of India, primarily in Karnataka state. It follows a 12-month solar cycle and is based on the position of the sun relative to the constellations.

The Kannada calendar is used for both religious and cultural purposes and includes various festivals, auspicious dates, and holidays that are important to the Kannada-speaking community. Some of the major festivals celebrated in Kannada culture, such as Ugadi (Kannada New Year), Maha Shivaratri, and Varamahalakshmi festival, are based on the Kannada calendar.

The Kannada calendar also includes information on tithis (lunar days), nakshatras (star constellations), yogas (planetary combinations), and karanas (half-tithis), which are important for determining auspicious times for various activities and events, such as weddings, housewarming ceremonies, and other rituals.

Today, the Kannada calendar is available in both print and digital formats, and several online resources offer free downloads of Kannada calendars. These calendars often include detailed information on auspicious dates, timings, and events specific to the Kannada community, making them a useful resource for people following Kannada traditions and culture
