Frequently asked questions about the Bengali Panjika 1952
How many festivals and vrats does the Bengali Panjika list in 1952?
The Bengali Panjika lists 274 dates in 1952, of which 209 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Friday, 4 January 1952, and the last is Pausha Purnima on Wednesday, 31 December 1952.
What are the main festival dates in the Bengali Panjika for 1952?
The first major observances of 1952 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1952
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1952
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 31 January 1952
- Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 3 February 1952
- Maha Shivaratri - Saturday, 23 February 1952
- Holika Dahan - Tuesday, 11 March 1952
Which month of 1952 has the most observances in the Bengali Panjika?
October 1952 is the fullest month with 29 dates, including Pradosh Vrat, Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, Sharad Purnima, Anvadhan, Ashwina Purnima, Ashwina Purnima Vrat, Valmiki Jayanti, Ishti.
Which traditional year does 1952 correspond to in the Bengali Panjika?
The Gregorian year 1952 spans Bangabda 1358 – 1359. 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 1952 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1952 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Were there any eclipses in 1952?
1952 had 4 eclipses:
- 11 February 1952 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 25 February 1952 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 6 August 1952 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 20 August 1952 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1952?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1952:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 31 March 1952
- Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 25 November 1952
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 1952?
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.
