Which traditional year does 2033 correspond to in the Marathi Calendar?

The Gregorian year 2033 spans Shaka Samvat 1954 – 1955. 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.

Will there be an Adhik Maas in 2033?

No. 2033 has 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.

Will there be any eclipses in 2033?

2033 has 4 eclipses:

  • 30 March 2033 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 15 April 2033 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
  • 23 September 2033 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 8 October 2033 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed

Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these will be kept in India.

Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2033?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2033:

  • Guru (Jupiter) enters Kumbha on 18 March 2033

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 2033?

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 Calendar opens on the current month.
