Grana are stacks of thylakoids.They are in stroma.
It takes place in thylakoids.They are membrane stacks
1. Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma and light- dependent reactions take place in the granum, also light is not required for all the reactions of Calvin cycle.2. Calvin cycle assimilates CO2 to form organic compounds whereas in light reactions photolysis of water leads the formation of energy rich inorganic compounds.
stroma
Thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen. Chloroplast thylakoids frequently form stacks of disks referred to as grana (singular: granum). Grana are connected by intergrana or stroma thylakoids, which join granum stacks together as a single functional compartment.

The light dependent reaction occurs in the chloroplast. In the light dependent reaction, chlorophyll pigments absorb solar energy. This energy is then converted into a chemical form (not glucose). The water molecule is split into oxygen and hydrogen molecules. The dark reaction or the carbon fixation period occurs in the fluid matrix or stroma of chloroplast. The hydrogen product from the first reaction is combined with the carbon dioxide molecules to makes sugars. This results in the C3 or C4 cycle.
The light-independent reactions take place in the stroma; more specifically, the Calvin-Benson cycle.
GRANUM---- Granum is a membranous structure within the chloroplasts of plants and green algae that contains the chlorophyll and is the site of the light reactions of photosynthesis.

ATP and NADPH are produced by reactions in the thylakoids and are consumed by reactions in the stroma. The reason is because the reaction that takes place in the thylakoid is the light reaction and the one that takes place in the stroma is the light-independent reaction.
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cell. There are stacks of thylakoids called granum, surrounded by a soultion called stroma in here. The first part of photosynthesis, known as The Light Reactions, takes place in the thylakoid membrane. The second part, the Calvin Cycle, takes place in the stroma.

Light-independent reactions take place outside the thylakoids, in the stroma. The stroma is the fluid part of the chloroplast. The thylakoids are an abundance of saclike photosynthetic membranes.
