The Marathi Calendar is more than a date tracker—it is a sacred companion that guides every Maharashtrian household through religious observances, cultural festivities, and auspicious life events. As we prepare to welcome Shaka Samvat 1947–1948 (Gregorian year 2026), the need for an accurate, easily accessible, and free digital calendar has never been greater. Whether you are in Maharashtra, another Indian state, or abroad, a reliable Marathi Panchang ensures you never miss a festival, a fast, or a shubh muhurat.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between Marathi Mahalaxmi Calendar and a regular panchang?
The Mahalaxmi Calendar is a specific, widely‑trusted brand of Marathi panchang known for its user‑friendly layout, accurate tithi markings, and emphasis on shubh muhurat. Our PDFs replicate this classic style while adding digital convenience.
2. Which panchang system is used – Amanta or Purnimanta?
Maharashtra traditionally follows the Amanta (Amavasya‑ant) calendar. Each month ends on the new moon day (Amavasya). Our calendar strictly adheres to this system, in line with the Shaka Samvat era.
3. Can I get the calendar in English or Hindi?
The monthly PDF grid is primarily in Marathi (days, tithi, nakshatra) for authenticity. However, festival names, holiday lists, and muhurat tables are presented bilingually (Marathi + English). For Hindi speakers, we provide a separate tabulated summary in Devanagari script.
4. Are these dates valid for both Maharashtra and other states?
Yes. The tithi‑based festivals (Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, etc.) are common across India. However, regional variations (e.g., Gudi Padwa vs Ugadi) are clearly marked. Public holidays listed are specific to Maharashtra and Central Government.
5. How accurate are the marriage muhurat dates?
The dates provided are general shubh vivah muhurat (when the auspicious yogas like Saubhagya, Amrita, Siddha, etc. prevail). For exact lagan timings (e.g., Abhijit muhurat, Godhuli muhurat), we strongly recommend consulting a professional panchang or astrologer.
