Khet ka calendar
Haryana's festivals follow its two crop seasons. Knowing the farm year explains why Teej comes with the rains and Vaisakhi with the sickle.
Haryana ke ilaake, alag rang
Haryana is small, but its six cultural regions speak, farm and celebrate differently. Our dates are for Kurukshetra; the customs below change as you travel.
Nardak & Bangar
Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Rohtak
The fertile heart: wheat and paddy, the 48-kos tirthas of Kurukshetra, and the Bangru dialect people think of as 'standard' Haryanvi.
Bagar
Sirsa, Fatehabad, Hisar, Bhiwani
Sand dunes, cotton, guar and bajra; Bagri speech close to Rajasthani, and camel carts still seen near the border.
Khadar
Panipat, Sonipat, Karnal, Yamunanagar
The Yamuna floodplain: sugarcane, basmati, Panipat's handloom and Yamunanagar's plywood mills.
Ahirwal
Rewari, Mahendragarh, Jhajjar, parts of Gurugram
Land of soldiers and Rao Tula Ram; Ahirwati dialect, bajra-mustard farming and Narnaul's old monuments.
Mewat
Nuh and parts of Palwal
Meo culture, the Aravalli ridge, Hasan Khan Mewati's memory and some of the state's richest oral epics.
Shivalik & Morni
Panchkula, Ambala, north Yamunanagar
Foothills of the Himalaya: Morni Hills, Mansa Devi and Kalka, Lohri bonfires and Punjabi-influenced speech.

Panchang padhna seekho
- Maas aur paksha — "Kaatak badi chauth" means the fourth day of the dark half of Kartik. Haryana's months end on Purnima.
- Tithi — the lunar day, counted at sunrise. Some festivals look at evening, midnight or moonrise instead.
- Nakshatra — the Moon's star; weddings and griha pravesh need specific ones. See shubh muhurat.
- Rahu kaal — an eighth of the day avoided for new starts. Check today's Rahu kaal.
