Frequently asked questions about the Bengali Panjika 1971

How many festivals and vrats does the Bengali Panjika list in 1971?

The Bengali Panjika lists 272 dates in 1971, of which 207 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Monday, 4 January 1971, and the last is Pausha Purnima Vrat on Friday, 31 December 1971.

What are the main festival dates in the Bengali Panjika for 1971?

The first major observances of 1971 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 13 January 1971
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 14 January 1971
  • Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 31 January 1971
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Wednesday, 3 February 1971
  • Maha Shivaratri - Tuesday, 23 February 1971
  • Holika Dahan - Thursday, 11 March 1971
Which month of 1971 has the most observances in the Bengali Panjika?

October 1971 is the fullest month with 30 dates, including Shani Pradosh Vrat, Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, Sharad Purnima, Anvadhan, Ashwina Purnima, Ashwina Purnima Vrat, Valmiki Jayanti, Ishti.

Which traditional year does 1971 correspond to in the Bengali Panjika?

The Gregorian year 1971 spans Bangabda 1377 – 1378. 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 1971 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 1971 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 1971?

1971 had 5 eclipses:

  • 10 February 1971 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 25 February 1971 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 22 July 1971 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 7 August 1971 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 21 August 1971 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya 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 1971?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1971:

  • Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishabha on 28 April 1971

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 1971?

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.
