August 2019 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Aadi Amavasai, Amavasya, Ishti, Karkidaka Vavu Bali, Aadi Perukku, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Nag Panchami, Skanda Shashthi.
Which traditional year does 2019 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2019 spans Shaka Samvat 1940 – 1941. 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 2019 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2019 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 2019?
2019 had 5 eclipses:
- 6 January 2019 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 January 2019 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 3 July 2019 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 July 2019 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 26 December 2019 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya 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 2019?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2019:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 29 March 2019
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 23 April 2019, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 5 November 2019
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 2019?
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.
