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.
Hindu Calendar 2001 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 381 dates in 2001, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 3 January and closing with Ishti on 31 December. Of these, 238 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 48 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2057 – 2058. 2001 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2001
Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 2001 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashwina, running from 18 September 2001 to 16 October 2001. Samba Dashami fell on 5 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 2000 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

- Mattu Pongal - Monday, 15 January 2001
Which month of 2001 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
November 2001 is the fullest month with 48 dates, including Ashwina Purnima, Ishti, Kumar Purnima, Meerabai Jayanti, Valmiki Jayanti, Atla Taddi, Karva Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami.
Which traditional year does 2001 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2001 spans Vikram Samvat 2057 – 2058. 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 2001 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2001 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (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 2001 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2001?
2001 had 5 eclipses:
- 10 January 2001 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 21 June 2001 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 July 2001 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 15 December 2001 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 December 2001 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak 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 2001?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2001:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 16 June 2001
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 2001?
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 Hindu Calendar - Panchangam opens on the current month.
About the Hindu Calendar - Panchangam
The Hindu lunar calendar (Panchang). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and any festivals or vrats, with the Vikram Samvat year and the lunar (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.
