What's on this month in India
By Experience My India Editorial Team
Destination specialists and licensed local guides
This page tracks what is actually happening across India in the current month — a moving festival, a seasonal fair, or a weather window worth knowing about — rather than a generic year-round list, and is updated as the calendar turns rather than left static.
How this page works
Because most Indian festivals move against the Gregorian calendar year to year, a genuinely useful 'what's on this month' page has to be updated each month rather than written once and left. This page is maintained on that basis: check back for the current month's actual highlights rather than treating any single snapshot as evergreen.
For the full year, see the festivals calendar
If you're planning further ahead than this month, our /plan/india-festivals-calendar/ guide covers the whole year's movable and fixed festivals, with the same honesty about which dates shift and which don't.
Ask us directly
If you have specific dates in mind and want to know what will be happening, tell us your travel window and we will check the current calendar and tell you honestly whether anything notable falls inside it.
Frequently asked questions
How often is this page updated?
It is reviewed monthly, since the events worth flagging genuinely change with the calendar month by month.
Does this page list every festival happening somewhere in India this month?
It highlights the more significant, travel-relevant ones rather than every local observance — India's full festival calendar is far larger than any single page could usefully list.
Can I get notified about a specific upcoming festival?
Tell us which festival interests you and roughly which year, and we will confirm the current dates directly rather than relying on a page that may not have been updated for your specific window yet.
