Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Assamese Panjika 1969 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Assamese Panjika lists 250 dates in 1969, opening with Anvadhan on 3 January and closing with Kalashtami on 31 December. Of these, 206 are vrats (fasting observances). March is the fullest month with 24 dates. The year runs through Bhaskarabda 1375 – 1376. 1969 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1969
Beyond the dates the Assamese Panjika lists, 1969 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashadha, running from 15 June 1969 to 14 July 1969. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 1968 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Assamese Panjika 1969
How many festivals and vrats does the Assamese Panjika list in 1969?
The Assamese Panjika lists 250 dates in 1969, of which 206 are vrats. The first is Anvadhan on Friday, 3 January 1969, and the last is Kalashtami on Wednesday, 31 December 1969.
What are the main festival dates in the Assamese Panjika for 1969?
The first major observances of 1969 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1969
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1969
- Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 22 January 1969
- Bhishma Ashtami - Saturday, 25 January 1969
- Maha Shivaratri - Saturday, 15 February 1969
- Holika Dahan - Monday, 3 March 1969
Which month of 1969 has the most observances in the Assamese Panjika?
March 1969 is the fullest month with 24 dates, including Shani Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga, Ishti, Phalguna Purnima, Savarni Manvadi.
Which traditional year does 1969 correspond to in the Assamese Panjika?
The Gregorian year 1969 spans Bhaskarabda 1375 – 1376. The traditional year does not begin on 1 January, so one Gregorian year usually covers the end of one era year and the start of the next.
Did 1969 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1969 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month inserted roughly every third year to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar one. Festivals falling after it shift later in the Gregorian year, which is why 1969 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1969?
1969 had 5 eclipses:
- 18 March 1969 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 3 April 1969 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 27 August 1969 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 12 September 1969 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 September 1969 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
None of them carried Sutak Kaal in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1969?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1969:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Mesha on 7 March 1969
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 12 November 1969
Jupiter takes about a year to cross one sign and Saturn about two and a half, so these transits colour the whole year rather than a single week.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 1969?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Assamese Panjika opens on the current month.
About the Assamese Panjika
The Assamese Panjika (Bhaskarabda). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Assamese solar month and the Bhaskarabda year.
Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
