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.
Marathi Panchang 1991 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Marathi Panchang lists 253 dates in 1991, opening with Ishti on 1 January and closing with Saphala Ekadashi on 31 December. Of these, 204 are vrats (fasting observances). September is the fullest month with 27 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1912 – 1913. 1991 carries an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1991
Beyond the dates the Marathi Panchang lists, 1991 brought 6 eclipses - 2 solar and 4 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Vaishakha, running from 15 April 1991 to 14 May 1991. Vasant Panchami fell on 20 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1990 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Marathi Panchang 1991
How many festivals and vrats does the Marathi Panchang list in 1991?
The Marathi Panchang lists 253 dates in 1991, of which 204 are vrats. The first is Ishti on Tuesday, 1 January 1991, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Tuesday, 31 December 1991.
What are the main festival dates in the Marathi Panchang for 1991?
The first major observances of 1991 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1991
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1991
- Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 20 January 1991
- Maha Shivaratri - Tuesday, 12 February 1991
- Holika Dahan - Thursday, 28 February 1991
- Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga - Friday, 1 March 1991
Which month of 1991 has the most observances in the Marathi Panchang?
September 1991 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Kalashtami, Krishna Janmashtami, Gopalkala (Dahi Handi), Aja Ekadashi, Masik Shivaratri, Pradosh Vrat, Amavasya, Anvadhan.
Which traditional year does 1991 correspond to in the Marathi Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1991 spans Shaka Samvat 1912 – 1913. 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 1991 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1991 carried an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (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 1991 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1991?
1991 had 6 eclipses:
- 16 January 1991 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 January 1991 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 27 June 1991 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 12 July 1991 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 July 1991 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 21 December 1991 - Partial 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 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1991?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1991:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 14 August 1991
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 1991?
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 Marathi Panchang - Shaka Samvat opens on the current month.
About the Marathi Panchang - Shaka Samvat
The Marathi Panchang (Shaka Samvat, Gudi Padwa 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.
