Months of the Mithila Panchang in 2007
The Mithila Panchang does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 2007, covering La. Sam. 887 – 888. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

Beyond the dates the Mithila Panchang lists, 2007 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Jyeshtha, running from 17 May 2007 to 15 June 2007. Makar Sankranti (Tila Sankranti) fell on 15 January, 1 day later in the year than in 2006 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

What are the main festival dates in the Mithila Panchang for 2007?

- Makar Sankranti (Tila Sankranti) - Monday, 15 January 2007
- Saraswati Puja (Vasant Panchami) - Tuesday, 23 January 2007

- Holi (Phagua) - Sunday, 4 March 2007
- Chaitra Navratri / Basanti Puja - Monday, 19 March 2007
- Ram Navami - Monday, 26 March 2007
Which month of 2007 has the most observances in the Mithila Panchang?
November 2007 is the fullest month with 6 dates, including Dhanteras, Diwali (Sukhraatri), Bhardutiya (Bhai Dooj), Chhath Puja, Gopashtami, Sama Chakeva.
Which traditional year does 2007 correspond to in the Mithila Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2007 spans La. Sam. 887 – 888. 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 2007 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2007 carried an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (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 2007 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2007?
2007 had 4 eclipses:
- 4 March 2007 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 19 March 2007 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 28 August 2007 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 11 September 2007 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2007?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2007:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Karka on 10 January 2007, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 16 July 2007
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 22 November 2007
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 2007?
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 Mithila Panchang opens on the current month.
