What happened in the sky in 2005

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 2005 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Gowri Habba fell on 6 September, 12 days earlier in the year than in 2004 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 2005

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 2005?

The Gowri Panchang lists 292 dates in 2005, of which 223 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Monday, 3 January 2005, and the last is Ishti on Saturday, 31 December 2005.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 2005?

The first major observances of 2005 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Thursday, 13 January 2005
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Friday, 14 January 2005
  • Mattu Pongal - Saturday, 15 January 2005
  • Thaipusam - Tuesday, 25 January 2005
  • Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 13 February 2005
  • Ratha Saptami - Tuesday, 15 February 2005
Which month of 2005 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 2005 is the fullest month with 29 dates, including Aadi Perukku, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Aadi Amavasai, Amavasya, Ishti.

Which traditional year does 2005 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 2005 spans Shaka Samvat 1926 – 1927. 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 2005 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 2005 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 2005?

2005 had 4 eclipses:

  • 9 April 2005 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 24 April 2005 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 3 October 2005 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 17 October 2005 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal 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 2005?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2005:

  • Shani (Saturn) entered Mithuna on 13 January 2005, moving retrograde
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Karka on 26 May 2005
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 28 September 2005

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 2005?

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.
