Gujarati Samvat Calendar 2007 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Gujarati Samvat Calendar lists 43 dates in 2007, opening with Uttarayan (Makar Sankranti) on 15 January and closing with Dattatreya Jayanti on 23 December. Of these, 10 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 9 dates.

Months of the Gujarati Samvat Calendar in 2007
The Gujarati Samvat Calendar does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 2007, covering Gujarati Samvat 2062 – 2063. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

Uttarayan (Makar Sankranti) fell on 15 January, 1 day later in the year than in 2006 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

How many festivals and vrats does the Gujarati Samvat Calendar list in 2007?
The Gujarati Samvat Calendar lists 43 dates in 2007, of which 10 are vrats. The first is Uttarayan (Makar Sankranti) on Monday, 15 January 2007, and the last is Dattatreya Jayanti on Sunday, 23 December 2007.
What are the main festival dates in the Gujarati Samvat Calendar for 2007?

- Uttarayan (Makar Sankranti) - Monday, 15 January 2007
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 23 January 2007
- Maha Shivratri - Friday, 16 February 2007
- Holika Dahan - Saturday, 3 March 2007
- Dhuleti (Holi) - Sunday, 4 March 2007
- Chaitra Navratri Begins - Monday, 19 March 2007
Which month of 2007 has the most observances in the Gujarati Samvat Calendar?
November 2007 is the fullest month with 9 dates, including Ahoi Ashtami, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Kali Chaudas, Diwali, Bali Pratipada (Diwali Padwa / Bestu Varas), Bhai Beej, Labh Pancham, Dev Diwali (Kartik Purnima).
Which traditional year does 2007 correspond to in the Gujarati Samvat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2007 spans Gujarati Samvat 2062 – 2063. 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 2007 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2007 carried an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (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 2007 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2007?
2007 had 4 eclipses:
- 4 March 2007 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 19 March 2007 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 28 August 2007 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 11 September 2007 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 2007?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2007:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Karka on 10 January 2007, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 16 July 2007
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 22 November 2007
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 2007?
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 Samvat Calendar opens on the current month.
