What happened in the sky in 2002

Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 2002 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Vasant Panchami fell on 17 February, 19 days later in the year than in 2001 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 2002

How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 2002?

The Telugu Panchangam lists 265 dates in 2002, of which 216 are vrats. The first is Sankashti Chaturthi on Wednesday, 2 January 2002, and the last is Bhaum Pradosh Vrat on Tuesday, 31 December 2002.

What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 2002?

The first major observances of 2002 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 2002
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 2002
  • Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 17 February 2002
  • Ratha Saptami - Tuesday, 19 February 2002
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Wednesday, 20 February 2002
  • Maha Shivaratri - Tuesday, 12 March 2002
Which month of 2002 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?

November 2002 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Diwali (Lakshmi Puja), Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan), Ishti.

Which traditional year does 2002 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?

The Gregorian year 2002 spans Shaka Samvat 1923 – 1924. 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 2002 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 2002 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 2002?

2002 had 5 eclipses:

  • 26 May 2002 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 11 June 2002 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 25 June 2002 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 20 November 2002 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 4 December 2002 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India

None of them carried Sutak Kaal in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2002?

Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2002:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 5 July 2002
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Mithuna on 23 July 2002

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 2002?

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 Telugu Panchangam opens on the current month.

About the Telugu Panchangam

The Telugu Panchangam (Shalivahana Shaka, Ugadi new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Shaka year and the Amanta month.

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.
