## What is 12 Maha?

12 Maha brings the Gregorian and Punjabi Nanakshahi calendars together in one beautiful, easy-to-read app.

SEE TODAY IN BOTH CALENDARS
View the Gregorian date beside the Nanakshahi date in Gurmukhi and Roman script, with Punjabi numerals, the weekday, Samvat year and the start of the next Punjabi month.

EXPLORE THE NANAKSHAHI MONTH
Open a true month grid with Punjabi day numerals and matching Gregorian dates. Browse forward or back, tap any date for details and spot gurpurabs at a glance.

FOLLOW SIKH GURPURABS
See today's observance and a rolling list of upcoming Sikh days. Open any event to read thoughtful historical context in Punjabi or English and adjust the reading size for comfort.

READ BARAH MAHA
Read both Barah Maha compositions from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The reader opens to the pauri for the current Nanakshahi month, with Punjabi arth and English translation controls.

KEEP THE DATE ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Add the 12 Maha widget in small, medium or large size. It shows today in both calendars and the next gurpurab, and refreshes around midnight.

PRIVATE AND RELIABLE
No account, advertising, analytics or tracking. Calendar calculations and bundled event data work offline. When connected, the app can refresh its public holiday data for future moveable dates.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-07

A big update, and a new name. The app is now simply 12 Maha.

A full month calendar
See the whole Nanakshahi month laid out against the Gregorian one, move between months, and tap any day to see what falls on it. The app now tells you where you are in the month and when the next one begins.

A full year ahead
Upcoming days now cover a whole year, grouped by month, with the weekday for every date.

History you can read in Punjabi
Tap any Gurpurab, Shaheedi day or historical day to read about it in Gurmukhi and English.

Both Barah Maha banis
Barah Maha Maajh and Barah Maha Tukhari, opening on the pauri for the current month, with Punjabi arth and English translation you can turn on and off.

More days, and honest dates
Now covering 114 observances including Shaheedi days, Gurpurabs, and the Bhagat Sahiban. Where sources genuinely disagree about a date, the app shows you every candidate and names its source instead of quietly choosing one for you.

Make it yours
Thirteen appearances to pick from, and a text size that applies across the whole app for easier reading. The Home Screen widget follows whichever you choose.

Fixes
The date no longer shifts in the evening, the day now rolls over correctly at midnight, and the widget and the app can no longer disagree about which days exist.
