The Marathi calendar, also known as the Shalivahana calendar, is a traditional calendar used in the Marathi-speaking regions of India, primarily in Maharashtra state. It follows a 12-month solar cycle and is based on the position of the sun relative to the constellations.

The Marathi calendar is used for both religious and cultural purposes and includes various festivals, auspicious dates, and holidays that are important to the Marathi-speaking community. Some of the major festivals celebrated in Marathi culture, such as Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, and Holi, are based on the Marathi calendar.

The Marathi calendar also includes information on tithis (lunar days), nakshatras (star constellations), yogas (planetary combinations), and karanas (half-tithis), which are important for determining auspicious times for various activities and events, such as weddings, housewarming ceremonies, and other rituals.

Today, the Marathi calendar is available in both print and digital formats, and several online resources offer free downloads of Marathi calendars. These calendars often include detailed information on auspicious dates, timings, and events specific to the Marathi community, making them a useful resource for people following Marathi traditions and culture.
