Frequently asked questions about the Hindu Calendar 2003

How many festivals and vrats does the Hindu Calendar list in 2003?

The Hindu Calendar lists 380 dates in 2003, of which 239 are vrats. The first is Masik Shivaratri on Wednesday, 1 January 2003, and the last is Masik Durgashtami on Tuesday, 30 December 2003.

What are the main festival dates in the Hindu Calendar for 2003?

The first major observances of 2003 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 2003
  • Samba Dashami - Monday, 13 January 2003
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 2003
  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Tuesday, 14 January 2003
  • Mattu Pongal - Wednesday, 15 January 2003
  • Thaipusam - Sunday, 19 January 2003
Which month of 2003 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?

October 2003 is the fullest month with 44 dates, including Durga Puja — Maha Shashthi, Durga Puja — Maha Saptami, Durga Puja — Maha Ashtami, Durga Puja — Maha Navami, Ayudha Puja / Saraswati Puja, Bijoya Dashami (Sindur Khela), Daksha Savarni Manvadi, Dussehra / Dasara (Vijayadashami).

Which traditional year does 2003 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?

The Gregorian year 2003 spans Vikram 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 2003 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 2003 had 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.

Were there any eclipses in 2003?

2003 had 4 eclipses:

  • 16 May 2003 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 31 May 2003 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 9 November 2003 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 24 November 2003 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India

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 2003?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2003:

  • Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishabha on 8 January 2003, moving retrograde
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Mithuna on 7 April 2003
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 30 July 2003

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 2003?

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.
