Good to know

The weekday is worked out on the Gregorian calendar, the one used for official dates in India. 15 August 1947 was a Friday and 26 January 1950 a Thursday.

The same date moves one weekday forward each year, and two after 29 February. That is why your birthday falls on a different day each year.

Dates before 15 October 1582 are counted on the same calendar extended backwards, so they may not match old records that used the Julian calendar.

Questions

What day of the week was I born?

Enter your date of birth. The chip next to the date shows the weekday.

What day was 15 August 1947?

Friday. It is the example filled in when the page opens.

Why does my birthday fall on a different day each year?

365 days is 52 weeks and 1 day, so the weekday moves by one each year, and by two after a leap day.

Can I check future dates?

Yes. Any date from the year 1000 to 9999 works.

Is my data stored?

No. Everything is calculated on your device and nothing is sent anywhere.
