Which traditional year does 2032 correspond to in the Gujarati Samvat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2032 spans Gujarati Samvat 2087 – 2088. 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 2032?
No. 2032 has 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.
Will there be any eclipses in 2032?
2032 has 4 eclipses:
- 25 April 2032 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 9 May 2032 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 October 2032 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 3 November 2032 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 3 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2032?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2032:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Makara on 5 March 2032
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mithuna on 31 May 2032
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 12 August 2032, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Makara on 23 October 2032
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 2032?
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.
