April 2011 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Masik Shivaratri, Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Ishti, Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri, Swayambhuva Manvadi, Vinayaka Chaturthi.
Which traditional year does 2011 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2011 spans Shaka Samvat 1932 – 1933. 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 2011 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2011 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 2011?
2011 had 6 eclipses:
- 4 January 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 2 June 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 16 June 2011 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 1 July 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 25 November 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 December 2011 - Total 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 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2011?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2011:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 8 May 2011
- Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 15 November 2011
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 2011?
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 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.
