Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.

Gowri Panchang 2001 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 295 dates in 2001, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 3 January and closing with Ishti on 31 December. Of these, 223 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 30 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1922 – 1923. 2001 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2001

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 2001 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashwina, running from 18 September 2001 to 16 October 2001. Gowri Habba fell on 21 August, 12 days earlier in the year than in 2000 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 2001

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 2001?

The Gowri Panchang lists 295 dates in 2001, of which 223 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Wednesday, 3 January 2001, and the last is Ishti on Monday, 31 December 2001.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 2001?

The first major observances of 2001 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 6 January 2001
  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Tuesday, 9 January 2001
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 13 January 2001
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 2001
  • Mattu Pongal - Monday, 15 January 2001
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 29 January 2001
Which month of 2001 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

November 2001 is the fullest month with 30 dates, including Ashwina Purnima, Ishti, Valmiki Jayanti, Atla Taddi, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Masik Shivaratri.

Which traditional year does 2001 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 2001 spans Shaka Samvat 1922 – 1923. 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 2001 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 2001 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (Adhik)), the extra lunar month inserted roughly every third year to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar one. Festivals falling after it shift later in the Gregorian year, which is why 2001 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 2001?

2001 had 5 eclipses:

  • 10 January 2001 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 21 June 2001 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 5 July 2001 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 15 December 2001 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 30 December 2001 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed

Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these were kept in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2001?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2001:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 16 June 2001

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 2001?

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.

This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
