Frequently asked questions about the Kannada Panchanga 2014
How many festivals and vrats does the Kannada Panchanga list in 2014?
The Kannada Panchanga lists 270 dates in 2014, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Amavasya on Wednesday, 1 January 2014, and the last is Masik Durgashtami on Monday, 29 December 2014.
What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Panchanga for 2014?
The first major observances of 2014 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 11 January 2014
- Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 2014
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 2014
- Thaipusam - Friday, 17 January 2014
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 4 February 2014
- Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 6 February 2014
Which month of 2014 has the most observances in the Kannada Panchanga?
August 2014 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Nag Panchami, Skanda Shashthi, Masik Durgashtami, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Anvadhan, Avani Avittam (Upakarma).
Which traditional year does 2014 correspond to in the Kannada Panchanga?
The Gregorian year 2014 spans Shaka Samvat 1935 – 1936. 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 2014 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2014 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 2014?
2014 had 4 eclipses:
- 15 April 2014 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 April 2014 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 8 October 2014 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 24 October 2014 - 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 2014?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2014:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 19 June 2014
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 2 November 2014
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 2014?
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.
