Which month of 2005 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
April 2005 is the fullest month with 43 dates, including Kalashtami, Sheetala Saptami, Sheetala Ashtami (Basoda), Papamochani Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Amavasya, Anvadhan.
Which traditional year does 2005 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2005 spans Vikram Samvat 2061 – 2062. 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 2005 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2005 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 2005?
2005 had 4 eclipses:
- 9 April 2005 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 24 April 2005 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 3 October 2005 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 17 October 2005 - Partial 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 2005?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2005:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Mithuna on 13 January 2005, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Karka on 26 May 2005
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 28 September 2005
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 2005?
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.
