Will there be an Adhik Maas in 2030?
No. 2030 has 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.
Will there be any eclipses in 2030?
2030 has 4 eclipses:
- 1 June 2030 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 16 June 2030 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 25 November 2030 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 December 2030 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2030?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2030:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 25 January 2030
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha on 17 April 2030
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 1 May 2030, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 23 September 2030
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 2030?
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 Kashmiri Calendar opens on the current month.
