Jain Calendar for जुलाई 2026
Here's the Jain calendar for जुलाई 2026 in Ujjain, India. The Jain calendar follows the Purnimanta system, where each month starts after the full moon (Purnima).
This Month's Highlights
जुलाई has 21 observances and festivals marked on the calendar. The Agiyaras (Ekadashi) parva tithis are on the 25th. Purnima falls on the 29th. Amavasya is on the 14th.
Major festivals this month include Ashadha Chaumasi Chaudas, Jain Chaturmas begins, और Guru Purnima. These are important days for prayers, fasting, and spiritual practices.
Important Fasting Days
The parva tithis are the Jain fasting days: Beej, Pancham, Atham, Agiyaras and Chaudas of each fortnight, plus Purnima and Amavasya. On these days many Jains keep Ayambil, Ekasana or Upvas and avoid green vegetables.
How the Jain Calendar Works
The Jain calendar counts years in Vira Nirvana Samvat (VNS), from Bhagwan Mahavir's Nirvana on Diwali of 527 BCE; the year changes on the Jain New Year, the day after Diwali. This month is in 2552 VNS. Days follow the tithi at sunrise.
Each month has two fortnights: Sud (Shukla, waxing) and Vad (Krishna, waning). This calendar names months the Purnimanta way, so Vad comes first; Gujarati Jain panchangs use Amanta months, which start with Sud. The tithis and festival days are the same either way.

Why Location Matters
We calculate this calendar specifically for Ujjain. Sunrise, sunset, and Tithi transitions happen at different times in different places. Using a calendar made for Delhi won't give you accurate times if you're in Mumbai or New York.
