Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Kannada Panchanga 2015 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Kannada Panchanga lists 269 dates in 2015, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 28 December. Of these, 216 are vrats (fasting observances). January is the fullest month with 25 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1936 – 1937. 2015 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Beyond the dates the Kannada Panchanga lists, 2015 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashadha, running from 17 June 2015 to 16 July 2015. Vaikunta Ekadashi fell on 1 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2014 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Kannada Panchanga 2015
How many festivals and vrats does the Kannada Panchanga list in 2015?
The Kannada Panchanga lists 269 dates in 2015, of which 216 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Thursday, 1 January 2015, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Monday, 28 December 2015.
What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Panchanga for 2015?
The first major observances of 2015 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Thursday, 1 January 2015
- Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 14 January 2015
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 15 January 2015
- Vasant Panchami - Saturday, 24 January 2015
- Ratha Saptami - Monday, 26 January 2015
- Bhishma Ashtami - Tuesday, 27 January 2015
Which month of 2015 has the most observances in the Kannada Panchanga?
January 2015 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Dharma Savarni Manvadi, Pausha Putrada Ekadashi, Vaikunta Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Pausha Purnima Vrat, Ishti, Pausha Purnima.
Which traditional year does 2015 correspond to in the Kannada Panchanga?
The Gregorian year 2015 spans Shaka Samvat 1936 – 1937. 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 2015 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2015 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (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 2015 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2015?
2015 had 4 eclipses:
- 20 March 2015 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 4 April 2015 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 13 September 2015 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 September 2015 - 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 2 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2015?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2015:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 14 July 2015
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 2015?
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.
