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 2031 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Gowri Panchang lists 295 dates in 2031, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 4 January and closing with Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) on 29 December. Of these, 222 are vrats (fasting observances). The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1952 – 1953. 2031 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What the sky brings in 2031
Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 2031 brings 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 2 are above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Bhadrapada, running from 19 August 2031 to 16 September 2031. Gowri Habba falls on 19 September, 19 days later in the year than in 2030 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Which traditional year does 2031 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2031 spans Shaka Samvat 1952 – 1953. 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.
Will there be an Adhik Maas in 2031?
Yes. 2031 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (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 2031 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2031?
2031 has 5 eclipses:
- 7 May 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 May 2031 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 5 June 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
- 30 October 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 15 November 2031 - 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 will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2031?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2031:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 17 February 2031
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 14 June 2031, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 15 October 2031
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 2031?
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.
