Which traditional year does 2025 correspond to in the Indian Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2025 spans Shaka Samvat 1946 – 1947. 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 2025 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2025 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 2025?
2025 had 4 eclipses:
- 14 March 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 March 2025 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 September 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 22 September 2025 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2025?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2025:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 29 March 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 14 May 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 18 October 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 5 December 2025, moving retrograde
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 2025?
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.
