Which traditional year does 2025 correspond to in the Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2025 spans Vikram Samvat 2081 – 2082. 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 2025 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2025 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 2025?
2025 had 4 eclipses:
- 14 March 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 March 2025 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 September 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 22 September 2025 - 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 2025?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2025:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 29 March 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 14 May 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 18 October 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 5 December 2025, 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.
Are these 2025 dates the same everywhere?
The dates follow the standard Indian sunrise-based calendar. Because a tithi begins and ends at a fixed moment rather than at midnight, an observance can fall a day earlier or later where sunrise differs - most noticeably outside India. Set your city in the box at the top to see the start and end times in your own local time, and check the daily Panchang for the exact window on the day.
