Panchang Marathi (panchangmarathi.com) is a Marathi calendar and panchang website for families in Maharashtra and Marathi speakers everywhere. The site is written in English so that it is easy to search and share, and the calendar entries themselves are in Marathi, the way they appear on the dindarshika hanging in most Marathi kitchens.

How the calendar is prepared
Each year's calendar is prepared from the Marathi panchang followed in Maharashtra: the Shaka year, the amanta month (which ends on Amavasya), and the tithi that is current at sunrise. Festival dates follow the rules Marathi families use, which is why a date on this site can differ by a day from a calendar made for North India. Times are given in Indian Standard Time.
The articles on the site are written from that calendar data, and every date in them links back to the month page so you can check the day for yourself.
Accuracy and corrections
We check dates before publishing, but mistakes can still slip in. If you find one, please tell us through the contact page. Our corrections policy explains what happens next. For muhurat and any ritual decision, please also consult your family purohit; see our disclaimer.
Who this site is for
Anyone who wants to know when a festival falls, which day is Ekadashi this month, what time Rahu kaal starts, or what the words of an aarti mean. That includes grandparents who know the panchang well and grandchildren abroad who are learning it for the first time.
