Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 2024
How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 2024?
The Malayalam Panchangam lists 273 dates in 2024, of which 221 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Wednesday, 3 January 2024, and the last is Ishti on Tuesday, 31 December 2024.
What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 2024?
The first major observances of 2024 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 14 January 2024
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 15 January 2024
- Thaipusam - Friday, 26 January 2024
- Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 14 February 2024
- Ratha Saptami - Friday, 16 February 2024
- Bhishma Ashtami - Saturday, 17 February 2024
Which month of 2024 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?
August 2024 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Karkidaka Vavu Bali, Ishti, Vinayaka Chaturthi.
Which traditional year does 2024 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2024 spans Kollam Era 1199 – 1200. 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 2024 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2024 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 2024?
2024 had 4 eclipses:
- 25 March 2024 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 8 April 2024 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 18 September 2024 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 3 October 2024 - Annular 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 2024?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2024:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 1 May 2024
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 2024?
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.
