Expert Guidelines
Birthdays and the Lunar Calendar (Tithi)
In India, many families celebrate birthdays according to the Hindu lunar calendar (Tithi) in addition to the solar birth date. The Ministry of Culture highlights the importance of these traditional calculations for conducting pujas and auspicious beginnings. Use this countdown to bridge your Western birthday with the local Panchangam for a spiritually meaningful celebration.

Navigating Public Holidays and 'Dry Days'
When planning a birthday party in India, be aware of national holidays like Republic Day or Gandhi Jayanti, which are often 'Dry Days' (no alcohol sales). The Ministry of Home Affairs sets these dates. If your countdown ends on one of these days, you might want to adjust your venue or celebration style to comply with local regulations and ensure your guests are informed.

Seasonal Planning: Monsoon vs. Summer
India's seasons dramatically affect birthday party venues. A July birthday means planning for the Monsoon, while a May birthday requires indoor air-conditioning to beat the heat. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) provides long-range forecasts. Use this countdown to time your venue bookings—outdoor garden parties are best for the 'pink cold' of an Indian winter.

Is it common to treat others on your birthday in India?
Yes, in Indian culture, the birthday person usually treats their friends and colleagues to a meal or snacks. If you're a student or working professional, your 'countdown' is likely being tracked by your peers expecting a 'party'!
