The Traditional Kashmiri Calendar
Online Kashmiri Calendar, Koshur Calendar📅
Kashmir, often revered as the “Paradise on Earth,” is not only home to stunning natural beauty but also a land deeply rooted in cultural richness, spiritual diversity, and centuries-old traditions. One of the most powerful tools that preserves and showcases this cultural identity is the Kashmiri Calendar — a unique cultural asset that reflects the soul of Kashmiri life.
At The Azadi Times, we are proud to offer an online Kashmiri Calendar that keeps Kashmiris — both local and global — connected to their roots by highlighting important festivals, traditional events, agricultural milestones, and astrological days. Whether you’re in Jammu, Srinagar, or living abroad in London or Dubai, this calendar keeps you linked with the heartbeat of Kashmir.
What is the Kashmiri Calendar?
The Kashmiri Calendar, also known in some communities as the Koshur Panchang, or Koshur Calendar, is more than just a date chart. It is a cultural and spiritual guide that marks traditional Kashmiri festivals, auspicious events, farming cycles, and celestial occurrences that have been observed for generations. Built on a blend of solar and lunar cycles, this calendar has been used historically by both Kashmiri Muslims and Kashmiri Pandits to organize daily life, conduct rituals, and observe festivals.
Why the Kashmiri Calendar Still Matters in 2025
In today’s fast-paced digital world, many communities are losing touch with their indigenous calendars and cultural systems. The Kashmiri Calendar helps preserve our identity by:
Guiding seasonal agricultural activities
Marking Islamic, Hindu, and local festivals
Identifying auspicious days for weddings and home ceremonies
Serving as a cultural diary for the global Kashmiri community
For researchers, students, and travelers, it is a fascinating portal into Kashmir’s spiritual and agricultural history.
Major Kashmiri Festivals Featured in the Calendar
Here are some of the most important Kashmiri festivals included in our calendar, with cultural notes for each:
1. Navreh – Kashmiri New Year
Observed by Kashmiri Pandits, Navreh marks the beginning of the new year. It is a day for spiritual renewal, family prayers, and the symbolic viewing of auspicious items like rice, salt, pen, and mirror.
2. Eid-ul-Fitr & Eid-ul-Adha
Celebrated across Kashmir, these Islamic festivals are marked by congregational prayers, charity, delicious food, and strong community bonding.
3. Herath (Shivratri)
One of the most sacred festivals for Kashmiri Hindus, Herath symbolizes Lord Shiva’s marriage to Parvati. Traditional foods, prayers, and storytelling define the day.
4. Lohri & Baisakhi
These festivals represent seasonal changes and agrarian cycles, particularly the spring harvest. They are celebrated with folk music, dances, and local feasts.
The Role of the Kashmiri Calendar in Agriculture
Agriculture remains a lifeline in Kashmir. The Kashmiri Calendar plays a crucial role in guiding the agricultural practices of the region. Rooted in centuries of traditional knowledge, it helps farmers align their sowing, harvesting, and irrigation schedules with the natural cycles of the valley.

From the first bloom of almond trees in spring to the saffron harvest in autumn, the calendar marks each phase of the agrarian year.

The calendar provides seasonal cues vital to farming:
Spring (Sonth): Start of sowing for rice and maize
Summer (Grishm): Almond, cherry, and apple blossom times
Autumn (Harud): Saffron and apple harvest
Winter (Wandh): Period for field rest and planning
Farmers refer to the calendar for auspicious days for plowing, sowing, and harvesting, aligning their agricultural cycles with ancient wisdom.
