What happened in the sky in 2006
Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 2006 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Thaipusam fell on 15 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2005 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 2006
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Telugu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 Mar 5:17 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga | Chaithramu Krishna Padyami | Penumbral only |
| 29 Mar 3:41 PM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 1 day before Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri | Chaithramu Amavasya | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 8 Sep 12:21 AM | Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Pitru Paksha Begins | Bhadhrapadamu Krishna Padyami | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 22 Sep 5:10 PM | Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) on Mahalaya / Sarva Pitru Amavasya | Asvayujamu Amavasya | Not visible |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 2 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 2006
| Date | Graha | Sign change |
|---|---|---|
| 27 Oct 10:30 PM | Guru (Jupiter) | Tula → Vrishchika |
| 1 Nov 7:20 AM | Shani (Saturn) | Karka → Simha |
Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Kumbha on 12 October 2006, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 2006
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 2006?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 269 dates in 2006, of which 217 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Tuesday, 3 January 2006, and the last is Vaikunta Ekadashi on Saturday, 30 December 2006.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 2006?
The first major observances of 2006 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Tuesday, 10 January 2006
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 13 January 2006
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 14 January 2006
- Thaipusam - Sunday, 15 January 2006
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 2 February 2006
- Ratha Saptami - Saturday, 4 February 2006
Which month of 2006 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
October 2006 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Daksha Savarni Manvadi, Ayudha Puja / Saraswati Puja, Dussehra / Dasara (Vijayadashami), Papankusha Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Ashwina Purnima Vrat, Sharad Purnima.
Which traditional year does 2006 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2006 spans Shaka Samvat 1927 – 1928. 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 2006 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2006 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 2006?
2006 had 4 eclipses:
- 15 March 2006 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 29 March 2006 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 8 September 2006 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 22 September 2006 - Annular 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 were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 2006?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2006:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 27 October 2006
- Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 1 November 2006
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 2006?
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.
