Frequently asked questions about the Marathi Panchang 2000
How many festivals and vrats does the Marathi Panchang list in 2000?
The Marathi Panchang lists 261 dates in 2000, of which 211 are vrats. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Sunday, 2 January 2000, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Friday, 29 December 2000.
What are the main festival dates in the Marathi Panchang for 2000?
The first major observances of 2000 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 14 January 2000
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 15 January 2000
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 10 February 2000
- Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 13 February 2000
- Maha Shivaratri - Saturday, 4 March 2000
- Holika Dahan - Sunday, 19 March 2000
Which month of 2000 has the most observances in the Marathi Panchang?
September 2000 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Ganesh Chaturthi, Hartalika Teej (Kevda Trij), Rudra Savarni Manvadi, Rishi Panchami, Balarama Jayanti, Jyeshtha Gauri Pujan, Masik Durgashtami, Parsva Ekadashi.
Which traditional year does 2000 correspond to in the Marathi Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2000 spans Shaka Samvat 1921 – 1922. 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 2000 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2000 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 2000?
2000 had 6 eclipses:
- 21 January 2000 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 February 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 2 July 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 16 July 2000 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 31 July 2000 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 25 December 2000 - Partial 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 2000?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2000:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 2 June 2000
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishabha on 7 June 2000
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 2000?
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.
