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.

Malayalam Panchangam 2001 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Malayalam Panchangam lists 275 dates in 2001, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 3 January and closing with Ishti on 31 December. Of these, 221 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 26 dates. The year runs through Kollam Era 1176 – 1177. 2001 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 2001

Beyond the dates the Malayalam Panchangam lists, 2001 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashwina, running from 18 September 2001 to 16 October 2001. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 2000 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 2001

How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 2001?

The Malayalam Panchangam lists 275 dates in 2001, of which 221 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Wednesday, 3 January 2001, and the last is Ishti on Monday, 31 December 2001.

What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 2001?

The first major observances of 2001 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 6 January 2001
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 13 January 2001
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 2001
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 29 January 2001
  • Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 31 January 2001
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Friday, 2 February 2001
Which month of 2001 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?

August 2001 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Shravana Purnima Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti, Ishti, Raksha Bandhan.

Which traditional year does 2001 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?

The Gregorian year 2001 spans Kollam Era 1176 – 1177. 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 2001 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 2001 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (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 2001 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 2001?

2001 had 5 eclipses:

  • 10 January 2001 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 21 June 2001 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 5 July 2001 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 15 December 2001 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 30 December 2001 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak 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 2001?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2001:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 16 June 2001

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 2001?

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 Malayalam Panchangam - Kolla Varsham opens on the current month.

About the Malayalam Panchangam - Kolla Varsham

The Malayalam Panchangam (Kolla Varsham). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Malayalam solar month and the Kollam Era year.

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.
