The Gujarati year for a given Gregorian year, resolved to the civil dates on which each observance is kept at the place you give. The Gujarati calendar is amanta luni-solar on the Vikrama Samvat era, whose new year falls at Bestu Varsh the day after Diwali rather than in spring, so the shape of the year differs from the Bengali and Assamese ones.
The lunar observances are found by tithi and then resolved to the right day using the time of day each one requires, which matters more here than elsewhere: several Gujarati observances share a tithi but not a kaala, so Govardhan Puja and Bestu Varsh, or Kali Chaudas and Roop Chaudas, fall on the same tithi at different times of day.
Send `year` with `latitude`, `longitude` and `timezone_as_float`. The response is `{year, events}` where events is a list of `{name, date}` in date order, `date` being a plain YYYY-MM-DD local civil date. The list is long: it runs to the monthly Sankashti Chaturthis, Ekadashis, Kalashtamis and Durgashtamis as well as the major festivals.
Request fields
Field
Type
Required
Notes
latitude
number (double)
required
Latitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is north, negative is south. Example: 26.9124 for Jaipur, 40.7128 for New York. Minutes and seconds are not accepted - convert first.
longitude
number (double)
required
Longitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is east, negative is west. Example: 75.7873 for Jaipur, -74.0060 for New York. Note the sign: a missing minus puts New York in China.
timezone_as_float
number (double)
required
UTC offset of the place, in hours, as a decimal. Example: 5.5 for India (UTC+05:30), -5 for New York in winter, 5.75 for Nepal. This is NOT validated against date_time - if the two disagree you get a successful response for the wrong moment, so derive both from the same source. Use the offset in force on that date, not today's: a summer birth in a country with daylight saving needs the summer offset.
year
integer
required
Year of birth as a number, e.g. 1990. Four digits.
