- New Year - Monday, 1 January 2007

Which month of 2007 has the most observances in the Indian Calendar?
April 2007 is the fullest month with 12 dates, including Hanuman Jayanti, Good Friday, Easter, Ambedkar Jayanti, Bohag Bihu (Rongali Bihu), Pana Sankranti (Maha Vishuba), Puthandu (Tamil New Year), Vaisakhi.
Which traditional year does 2007 correspond to in the Indian Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2007 spans Shaka Samvat 1928 – 1929. 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 Indian Calendar opens on the current month.
