भारत के सभी राज्यों में हिंदू धार्मिक त्यौहार मनाए जाते हैं, जिनमें से कुछ क्षेत्रीय स्तर पर मनाए जाते हैंजबकि अन्य राष्ट्रीय स्तर पर मनाए जाते हैं। हिन्दू त्योहार को हर वर्ष में महीने के हिसाब से मनाया जाता को हिंदू कैलेंडर जिसे पंचांग के नाम से जाना जाता है, सूर्य और चंद्रमा की गति के आधार पर समय की गणना करने की एक प्रणाली है। ये पौराणिक कथाओं और धार्मिक अनुष्ठानों के सही मिश्रण के साथ तैयार किया गया है। यह सभी हिंदू त्यौहार और उत्सव हिंदू कैलेंडर पर आधारित हैं।
हिंदू कैलेंडर पूरी तरह से हिंदू देवी-देवताओं को संदर्भित करता है। कैलेंडर के सभी 12 महीनों का नाम हिंदू देवताओं के नाम पर रखा गया है और कई त्यौहार इन देवी-देवताओं की कहानियों का जश्न मनाते हैं।
ऐसे राष्ट्रीय स्तर के हिंदू त्योहारों के कुछ उदाहरण हैं दीपावली, गणेश चतुर्थी, नवरात्रि, महा शिवरात्रि, आदि। कुछ क्षेत्रीय हिंदू त्योहारों के उदाहरण हैं विशु, करवा चौथ, उगादि, आदि।
