Frequently asked questions about the Kannada Panchanga 2011
How many festivals and vrats does the Kannada Panchanga list in 2011?
The Kannada Panchanga lists 270 dates in 2011, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Shani Pradosh Vrat on Saturday, 1 January 2011, and the last is Skanda Shashthi on Friday, 30 December 2011.
What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Panchanga for 2011?
The first major observances of 2011 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 14 January 2011
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 15 January 2011
- Thaipusam - Thursday, 20 January 2011
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 8 February 2011
- Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 10 February 2011
- Bhishma Ashtami - Friday, 11 February 2011
Which month of 2011 has the most observances in the Kannada Panchanga?
August 2011 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Vinayaka Chaturthi, Nag Panchami, Skanda Shashthi, Masik Durgashtami, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Anvadhan.
Which traditional year does 2011 correspond to in the Kannada Panchanga?
The Gregorian year 2011 spans Shaka Samvat 1932 – 1933. 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 2011 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2011 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 2011?
2011 had 6 eclipses:
- 4 January 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 2 June 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 16 June 2011 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 1 July 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 25 November 2011 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 December 2011 - Total 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 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2011?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2011:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 8 May 2011
- Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 15 November 2011
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 2011?
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 Kannada Panchanga opens on the current month.
About the Kannada Panchanga
The Kannada Panchanga (Shalivahana Shaka, Yugadi new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Shaka year and the 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.
