✦ About Marathi Calendar ✦

The Marathi calendar is lunisolar and based on the Saka Samvat (current year = Gregorian year − 78). Its 12 months are the Hindu months Chaitra to Phalguna, determined by lunar motion.

New Year — "Gudi Padwa" (Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, March–April) — is celebrated by erecting a colorful "gudi" with neem leaves at every home's entrance.

All major Marathi festivals — Ganesh Chaturthi, Gudi Padwa, Holi, Diwali, Vijayadashami — follow this calendar. The abhangs of Samartha Ramdas and Tukaram are arranged month-by-month on the panchang.
