आषाढ – ज्येष्ठ 1948
The Marathi Calendar, firmly anchored in the historic Shalivahana Shaka era (beginning 78 CE), is the premier lunisolar almanac for the vibrant state of Maharashtra, India. This meticulously calculated system governs the spiritual, cultural, and agrarian life of the Marathi people. It is the absolute reference for scheduling the region's most beloved festivals, including Gudi Padwa (the Marathi New Year), Ganesh Chaturthi, Makar Sankranti, and Ashadhi Ekadashi.
Operating on the Amanta system, where each lunar month definitively concludes on the Amavasya (New Moon day), the calendar requires highly complex astronomical calculations. The twelve months—Chaitra, Vaishakha, Jyeshtha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwin, Kartik, Margashirsha, Pausha, Magha, and Phalguna—are deeply intertwined with seasonal changes, ensuring agricultural festivals align perfectly with harvest cycles.
For Maharashtrian families, the daily consultation of the Panchang is a deeply ingrained cultural practice. Our digital platform tracks the exact transition of the Tithi and Nakshatra, which is vital for performing Satyanarayan Pujas, scheduling Vastu Shanti (housewarming), and planning weddings. We dynamically calculate the auspicious Choghadiya timings and the highly favorable Abhijit Muhurat to guide your daily decisions.
Accuracy in astrology is strictly dependent on geography. Our calendar's underlying engine utilizes precise ephemeris data localized for Mumbai and Pune to calculate exact Suryoday (sunrise) and Suryast (sunset). This guarantees that inauspicious planetary windows like Rahu Kaal and Gulik Kaal are calculated with pinpoint accuracy, allowing you to safely navigate your daily routines.
We are proud to provide a seamless, ad-free digital Panchang that honors the profound astrological heritage of Maharashtra. Whether you are observing a strict Sankashti Chaturthi fast or simply organizing a cultural event, our Marathi calendar delivers mathematically perfect astrological data in a beautiful, highly accessible interface.
The Shalivahana Shaka calendar is a lunisolar system that began in 78 CE. Adopted as the official basis for the Indian National Calendar, it is deeply integrated into Maharashtrian culture and is the absolute reference for all regional festivals.
The Marathi calendar strictly follows the Amanta tradition, meaning every lunar month officially concludes on the day of the New Moon (Amavasya). This differs from the Purnimanta system used in North India, where the month ends on the Full Moon.
Our digital Panchang tracks the five key astrological elements: Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana. By analyzing these variables alongside your personal birth chart, astrologers can identify the perfect Muhurat for weddings and Vastu Shanti.
This calendar dynamically tracks all major cultural milestones, including Gudi Padwa (Marathi New Year), Ganesh Chaturthi, Makar Sankranti, Ashadhi Ekadashi, and Narali Poornima, ensuring you never miss a significant celebration.
