The Sikhi Calendar from Shaheedi Bunga. Every day shows the Panjabi date first, in large Gurmukhi, with the English date beneath. • Gurpurabs, Prakash, Gurgaddi and Jyoti Jyot days, shaheedi divas, jor melas and historic days, with sangrand, masya and puranmashi • The history of each day in Panjabi and English, with a Gurbani pankti and historic paintings • Dates are worked out from the Sun and Moon by the jantri's own rules — tithi at sunrise at Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar — so the calendar never runs out and needs no yearly update, from 1900 to 2100 • Checked against six years of the printed SGPC jantri; where SGPC printed a different day, the app tells you • The tithi of every day, e.g. Poh sudi 7 • Reminders in Panjabi and English the evening before each gurpurab and sangrand, even with the app closed — and for your own dates, at their own time • Your own dates: programmes, Amrit sanskar days, barsis, birthdays — on the Panjabi or the English date • Share any day on WhatsApp status or a group as a picture card — the picture, the tithi, the original date and a Gurbani pankti — or as text • Month, week and year views (12-month grid, list and a poster), search, larger text • Optional: dates by your own city's sunrise instead of Amritsar • Works offline. No account, no ads, no tracking — nothing about you leaves your phone. Made by Shaheedi Bunga, a UK Sikh charity, for its Sikhi School Sangat and for everyone.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sikhi Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bhashini has 16 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Sikhi Calendar's written reviews are positive against 58% of Bhashini's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sikhi Calendar ships an update every 3 months, Bhashini every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
