What happened in the sky in 2009
Beyond the dates the Malayalam Panchangam lists, 2009 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 4 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 2008 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 2009

Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 2009
How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 2009?
The Malayalam Panchangam lists 276 dates in 2009, of which 222 are vrats. The first is Skanda Shashthi on Friday, 2 January 2009, and the last is Pausha Purnima Vrat on Thursday, 31 December 2009.
What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 2009?
The first major observances of 2009 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Wednesday, 7 January 2009
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 2009
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 2009
- Vasant Panchami - Saturday, 31 January 2009
- Ratha Saptami - Monday, 2 February 2009
- Bhishma Ashtami - Tuesday, 3 February 2009
Which month of 2009 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?
March 2009 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Skanda Shashthi, Masik Durgashtami, Amalaki Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Attukal Pongala.
Which traditional year does 2009 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2009 spans Kollam Era 1184 – 1185. 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 2009 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2009 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 2009?
2009 had 5 eclipses:
- 26 January 2009 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 9 February 2009 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 7 July 2009 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 22 July 2009 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 6 August 2009 - 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 2009?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2009:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 1 May 2009
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 30 July 2009, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kanya on 10 September 2009
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 20 December 2009
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 2009?
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.
