Never miss a special day with the smart Manorama Calendar app

Remember the days when important occasions were marked with a pencil on the wall calendar? Times have changed. Wall calendars have migrated to mobile phones, and the Manorama Calendar app is fast becoming a complete personal assistant, blending tradition with modern technology. It offers much more than just a way to check special dates, star predictions or lunar calendar dates (tithi).

The app helps you plan your life while providing all the information associated with traditional calendars. In addition to details from the Manorama Calendar — including the Malayalam calendar year, Islamic calendar year, Shaka era, important occasions, auspicious timings, agricultural calendar and astrological charts — it also functions as a mobile organiser. Users can mark meetings, birthdays and other events, set reminders, edit entries, check weekly schedules and use the search feature for quick access to information.

The smart alarm feature
One standout feature is the smart alarm. Users can set alarms for sunrise and sunset timings for important events, Raahukalam, Gulikakalam, prayer timings and auspicious timings, ensuring they never miss key moments.

Powerful search options
The search function is especially useful. Instead of scrolling endlessly, you can quickly find what you need. For example, typing ‘Onam’ will instantly show the dates for Onam, Thiruvonam and other related occasions. Entering the name of a Malayalam month will reveal its corresponding English month and exact dates in seconds.

The app also provides comprehensive details of temple festivals in Kerala, including timings for major events such as flag hoisting and Aarattu. Users are reminded of fasting days such as Pradosham and Ekadashi, and can create a separate category called vrathangal (fasting) to receive monthly reminders.

Offline access and multiple editions
For added convenience, the app allows users to switch between two different editions — Travancore and Malabar — as well as the Gregorian calendar. Another unique feature is that the app also works offline.

The Manorama Calendar app is available for free on the Google Play Store for Android and the Apple App Store for iPhones. A premium, ad-free version is also offered. To download the app, visit the Manorama website.
