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.
Bengali Panjika 1947 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Bengali Panjika lists 274 dates in 1947, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 3 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 209 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Bangabda 1353 – 1354. 1947 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Frequently asked questions about the Bengali Panjika 1947
How many festivals and vrats does the Bengali Panjika list in 1947?
The Bengali Panjika lists 274 dates in 1947, of which 209 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Friday, 3 January 1947, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Tuesday, 30 December 1947.
What are the main festival dates in the Bengali Panjika for 1947?
The first major observances of 1947 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1947
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1947
- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 27 January 1947
- Bhishma Ashtami - Thursday, 30 January 1947
- Maha Shivaratri - Wednesday, 19 February 1947
- Holika Dahan - Thursday, 6 March 1947
Which month of 1947 has the most observances in the Bengali Panjika?
November 1947 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Bhoot Chaturdashi, Masik Shivaratri, Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan), Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya.
Which traditional year does 1947 correspond to in the Bengali Panjika?
The Gregorian year 1947 spans Bangabda 1353 – 1354. 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 1947 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1947 carried an Adhik Maas (Shravana (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 1947 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1947?
1947 had 4 eclipses:
- 20 May 1947 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 4 June 1947 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 13 November 1947 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 November 1947 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1947?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1947:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 18 January 1947
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 11 May 1947, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 17 September 1947
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 1947?
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 Bengali Panjika opens on the current month.
About the Bengali Panjika
The Bengali Panjika (Bangabda). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Bengali solar month and the San (Bangabda) 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.
