BAPS Nirnay

BAPS Nirnay is a Hindu calendar app that combines the Hindu lunar calendar’s festivals, observances and auspicious timings with the Western (Solar) calendar used in day-to-day life through a feature-filled, but clean user interface. BAPS Nirnay offers a monthly calendar view that highlights important Swaminarayan Hindu festivals and observances such as Ekadashi, Poonam and Amas. Personal notes on each day can easily be made and shared with friends and family as a reminder for special events. The Muhurat view, or auspicious timings view, provides an easy-to-navigate monthly overview with details on auspicious timings for buying, selling, marriage, vastu, janoi and other important events according to the Hindu jyotish scriptures. It also has separate views highlighting festivals, auspicious days and days of the solar and lunar eclipse, respectively. This well-designed app will make knowing about and planning for Hindu festivals and observances much more convenient in our busy modern lives.
