Frequently asked questions about the Bengali Panjika 1986

How many festivals and vrats does the Bengali Panjika list in 1986?

The Bengali Panjika lists 274 dates in 1986, of which 209 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Friday, 3 January 1986, and the last is Ishti on Wednesday, 31 December 1986.

What are the main festival dates in the Bengali Panjika for 1986?

The first major observances of 1986 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1986
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1986
  • Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 13 February 1986
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Monday, 17 February 1986
  • Maha Shivaratri - Saturday, 8 March 1986
  • Holika Dahan - Tuesday, 25 March 1986
Which month of 1986 has the most observances in the Bengali Panjika?

November 1986 is the fullest month with 29 dates, including Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Diwali (Lakshmi Puja), Kali Puja, Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan), Amavasya, Ishti, Bhai Dooj / Bhau Beej.

Which traditional year does 1986 correspond to in the Bengali Panjika?

The Gregorian year 1986 spans Bangabda 1392 – 1393. 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 1986 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 1986 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 1986?

1986 had 4 eclipses:

  • 9 April 1986 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 24 April 1986 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 4 October 1986 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 18 October 1986 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed

Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these were kept in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1986?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1986:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 25 January 1986

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 1986?

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.
