Welcome to Kalnirnay Marathi (kalnirnaymarathi.in
), an independent digital resource dedicated to preserving and presenting traditional Marathi Panchang, Hindu calendar dates, and regional cultural observances in a modern, accessible format.
Our platform was built to serve Marathi-speaking families, elders, and young professionals across Maharashtra and the global diaspora who need accurate, distraction-free access to daily tithis, vrat schedules, and festive timings.
Who We Are & Editorial Mission
Kalnirnay Marathi is founded, researched, and edited by Prajwal Mali, based in Amravati, Maharashtra.
With a deep personal interest in traditional Hindu almanac systems and regional Maharashtrian cultural traditions, our mission is to eliminate the clutter found in conventional calendar apps. We translate complex traditional Panchang calculations into clear, readable monthly guides, tables, and cultural explainers.
Every listing published on this website is manually reviewed, verified against multiple regional astrological frameworks, and formatted to ensure maximum legibility across mobile devices.
What We Offer
- Monthly Marathi Calendar (2026–2027): Complete, localized breakdowns covering traditional lunar months (Chaitra to Phalguna), Pakshas (Shukla and Krishna), and critical observances including Ekadashi, Sankashti Chaturthi, Pournima, and Amavasya.
- Festival & Vrat Guides: Detailed context, significance, and exact muhurat timings for major Maharashtrian celebrations (such as Gudi Padwa, Ganeshutsav, Diwali, and Makar Sankranti) published in both Marathi and English.
- Shubh Muhurat & Auspicious Timings: Curated dates for Vivah Muhurta (wedding ceremonies), Griha Pravesh (housewarming), and naming ceremonies (Namkaran).
- Cultural Explainers: Informational articles explaining the religious background, fasting rules (vrat katha), and traditional rituals associated with specific lunar days.
Editorial Standards & Research Methodology
Accuracy in religious timing is critical, as planetary alignments and sunrise times dictate ritual validity. Our editorial team follows a rigorous 3-step verification process:
- Primary Reference Cross-Check: We reference standard, authoritative Drik Panchang ephemeris tables and established Marathi astronomical calculations.
- Regional Sunrise & LMT Adjustments: Hindu tithis depend strictly on local sunrise times (Surya Udaya). We provide standardized timings calibrated for Maharashtra (IST) and clearly document when an observance differs based on local sunset/sunrise conditions.
- Manual Fact-Checking: Before publishing any monthly calendar, our team manually cross-verifies festival tithis against prevailing regional traditions to prevent typographical and scheduling discrepancies.
Note: Because specific rituals may vary by family traditions (Kulachar) or local village temples, we always advise confirming ceremony dates with your local priest or family Pandit.
