A year of Maharashtrian festivals and vratas. The Marathi calendar is amanta luni-solar on the Shaka era, the same month scheme as Kannada and Telugu.
The list covers every Sankashti Chaturthi under its own monthly name — Lambodara, Dwijapriya, Bhalachandra, Vikata, Ekadanta and the rest — all the Ekadashis, the twelve Sankrantis, the eclipses, and the regional days such as Gudi Padwa, Holika Dahan, Dhulivandan and Vat Purnima.
Pass year with latitude, longitude and UTC offset; the place matters because several of these are fixed by moonrise or by the tithi prevailing at sunrise. The response is {year, events}, each event {name, date}, in date order, typically well over a hundred entries. The year must be between 2006 and 2046.

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.
