@Krishna,

Problem could be solved by setting --> App and clearing cache and data from the calendar app and do a force stop of the calendar app.

Also, there is one more app which is running for calendar called "Calendar storage", which could be found in Setting --> App and on the top menu click on Show System.

On this screen all system Apps will be visible. Click on Calendar storage and follow all the steps for clearing cache and data and force stop the app.

Now start the Calendar App, It will start without any issue.
