Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Tamil Panchangam 2010 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Tamil Panchangam lists 277 dates in 2010, opening with Ishti on 1 January and closing with Saphala Ekadashi on 31 December. Of these, 215 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 26 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1931 – 1932. 2010 carries an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Beyond the dates the Tamil Panchangam lists, 2010 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Vaishakha, running from 15 April 2010 to 14 May 2010. Vasant Panchami fell on 20 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 2009 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Tamil Panchangam 2010
How many festivals and vrats does the Tamil Panchangam list in 2010?
The Tamil Panchangam lists 277 dates in 2010, of which 215 are vrats. The first is Ishti on Friday, 1 January 2010, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Friday, 31 December 2010.
What are the main festival dates in the Tamil Panchangam for 2010?
The first major observances of 2010 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 13 January 2010
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 14 January 2010
- Mattu Pongal - Friday, 15 January 2010
- Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 20 January 2010
- Ratha Saptami - Friday, 22 January 2010
- Bhishma Ashtami - Saturday, 23 January 2010
Which month of 2010 has the most observances in the Tamil Panchangam?
August 2010 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Aadi Perukku, Kalashtami, Aadi Krithigai, Kamika Ekadashi, Shani Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya.
Which traditional year does 2010 correspond to in the Tamil Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2010 spans Shaka Samvat 1931 – 1932. 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 2010 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 2010 carried an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (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 2010 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 2010?
2010 had 5 eclipses:
- 1 January 2010 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 15 January 2010 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 26 June 2010 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 12 July 2010 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 December 2010 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 2010?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2010:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 2 May 2010
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 1 November 2010, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 6 December 2010
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 2010?
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 Tamil Panchangam - Vakya & Thirukanitha opens on the current month.
About the Tamil Panchangam - Vakya & Thirukanitha
The Tamil Panchangam. Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Tamil solar month and the Thiruvalluvar Aandu year. Positions follow the Thirukanitha (astronomical) method; traditional Vakya almanacs may differ slightly.
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.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
