Which traditional year does 2036 correspond to in the Mithila Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2036 spans La. Sam. 916 – 917. 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 2036?
No. 2036 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 2036?
2036 has 5 eclipses:
- 12 February 2036 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 27 February 2036 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 23 July 2036 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 August 2036 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 21 August 2036 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 2036?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2036:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishabha on 15 April 2036
- Shani (Saturn) enters Simha on 27 August 2036
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Mithuna on 10 September 2036
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishabha on 17 November 2036, moving retrograde
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 2036?
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.
