Frequently asked questions
Dohas, Hindi Diwas, and festival dates, explained.
Doha of the Day
Where do the dohas come from?
Each "Doha of the Day" is drawn from Kabir, Tulsidas, or Rahim — classical Hindi poets whose work is centuries old and firmly in the public domain — shown in Devanagari with a plain-language meaning.
Does the doha change every day?
Yes. The featured doha rotates through a curated set based on the day of the year, so it stays the same all day and changes the next.
Hindi Diwas
What is Hindi Diwas?
Hindi Diwas (14 September) commemorates the day in 1949 when the Constituent Assembly of India adopted Hindi in the Devanagari script as one of the official languages of the Union.
About this site
Is this the same as Hindu Calendar?
No. This site focuses on the Hindi language itself — daily dohas, Hindi Diwas, and general festival dates. Detailed Panchang (Tithi, Nakshatra) calculations live on our sister site, Hindu Calendar.
How are festival dates chosen?
Festival dates are researched and verified against public sources for the current year, since many Hindu festivals follow the lunisolar calendar and shift on the Gregorian calendar every year. See our disclaimer.
