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.
Gujarati Panchang 2004 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Gujarati Panchang lists 265 dates in 2004, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 3 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 216 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Gujarati Samvat 2059 – 2060. 2004 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2004
Beyond the dates the Gujarati Panchang lists, 2004 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 18 July 2004 to 16 August 2004. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 14 January, 1 day later in the year than in 2003 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Gujarati Panchang 2004
How many festivals and vrats does the Gujarati Panchang list in 2004?
The Gujarati Panchang lists 265 dates in 2004, of which 216 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Saturday, 3 January 2004, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Thursday, 30 December 2004.
What are the main festival dates in the Gujarati Panchang for 2004?
The first major observances of 2004 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 14 January 2004
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 15 January 2004
- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 26 January 2004
- Bhishma Ashtami - Thursday, 29 January 2004
- Maha Shivaratri - Wednesday, 18 February 2004
- Holika Dahan - Saturday, 6 March 2004
Which month of 2004 has the most observances in the Gujarati Panchang?
November 2004 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Dhanteras, Kali Chaudas, Masik Shivaratri, Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan).
Which traditional year does 2004 correspond to in the Gujarati Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2004 spans Gujarati Samvat 2059 – 2060. 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 2004 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2004 carried an Adhik Maas (Shravana (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 2004 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2004?
2004 had 4 eclipses:
- 19 April 2004 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 May 2004 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 14 October 2004 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 October 2004 - 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 2 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2004?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2004:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 27 August 2004
- Shani (Saturn) entered Karka on 6 September 2004
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 2004?
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 Gujarati Panchang opens on the current month.
About the Gujarati Panchang
The Gujarati Panchang (Vikram Samvat with the Kartika new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Samvat year and the Amanta month.
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, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). 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.
