July 2000 is the fullest month with 29 dates, including Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Ishti, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Skanda Shashthi, Ani Thirumanjanam, Masik Durgashtami.
Which traditional year does 2000 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2000 spans Shaka Samvat 1921 – 1922. The traditional year does not begin on 1 January, so one Gregorian year usually covers the end of one era year and the start of the next.
Did 2000 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2000 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Were there any eclipses in 2000?
2000 had 6 eclipses:
- 21 January 2000 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 February 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 2 July 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 16 July 2000 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 31 July 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 25 December 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2000?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2000:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 2 June 2000
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishabha on 7 June 2000
Jupiter takes about a year to cross one sign and Saturn about two and a half, so these transits colour the whole year rather than a single week.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2000?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Gowri Panchang - South Indian Almanac opens on the current month.
About the Gowri Panchang - South Indian Almanac
The Gowri Panchang is the South Indian daily almanac used across Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala. Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals with the Tamil solar month and Thiruvalluvar year. Tap a day for the eight Gowri Nalla Neram windows of the daytime and the night.
This is the South Indian Gowri Panchangam. Tap a day for the eight Gowri Nalla Neram windows of the daytime and the night. Uthi, Amirdha, Laabam, Dhanam and Sugam are the auspicious hours; Rogam, Soram and Visham are set aside. The yearly grid still carries tithi, nakshatra and South Indian festivals, with the Tamil solar month and Thiruvalluvar year.
Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam, and the Gowri Nalla Neram tables for day and night. Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
