+## Description
+
+I want to customize the header of a MultiView Calendar to display the month name above each view.
+
+## Solution
+
+To display the month name above each view in a MultiView Calendar, use the [`HeaderTemplate`]({%slug calendar-templates-header%}) of the TelerikCalendar and apply custom CSS for styling for label positioning. The following example demonstrates how to achieve this customization:

+
+````CSHTML
+@using System.Globalization;
+
+<style>
+    .my-header {
+        inline-size: var(--INTERNAL--kendo-calendar-view-width, 256px);
+        display: flex;
+        justify-content: center;
+    }
+</style>
+
+<TelerikCalendar @bind-Date="@StartDate" Views="@ViewCount"
+                 @bind-Value="@Value"
+                 @bind-View="@View"
+                 SelectionMode="@CalendarSelectionMode.Single"
+                 @ref="CalendarRef">
+    <HeaderTemplate>
+        @for (int i = 0; i < ViewCount; i++)
+        {
+            var monthNumber = Value.Month + i > 12 ? (Value.Month + i) % 12 : Value.Month + i;
+            var month = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetAbbreviatedMonthName(monthNumber);
+            <div class="my-header">@month</div>
+        }
+    </HeaderTemplate>
+</TelerikCalendar>
+
+@code {
+    private int ViewCount = 4;
+    private DateTime StartDate = DateTime.Today;
+    private DateTime Value = DateTime.Today;
+    private CalendarView View = CalendarView.Month;
+    private TelerikCalendar CalendarRef { get; set; }
+
+    private string GetMeetingClass(DateTime date)
+    {
+        if (date.Day % 5 == 0)
+        {
+            return "meeting";
+        }
+        else if (date.Day % 9 == 0)
+        {
+            return "cocktail";
+        }
+        else
+        {
+            return "";
+        }
+    }
+
+    private void NavigateToCurrentMonth()
+    {
+        CalendarRef.NavigateTo(DateTime.Today, CalendarView.Month);
+    }
+
+    private void GoToCenturyView()
+    {
+        View = CalendarView.Century;
+    }
+}
