What happened in the sky in 1987
Beyond the dates the Bengali Panjika lists, 1987 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Vasant Panchami fell on 2 February, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1986 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1987
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Bengali date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 29 Mar 6:18 PM | Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 1 day before Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri | Choitro Amavasya | Not visible |

| 7 Oct 9:31 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Valmiki Jayanti | Ashshin Purnima | Not visible |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 1 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.

Frequently asked questions about the Bengali Panjika 1987
How many festivals and vrats does the Bengali Panjika list in 1987?
The Bengali Panjika lists 268 dates in 1987, of which 205 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Saturday, 3 January 1987, and the last is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on Wednesday, 30 December 1987.
What are the main festival dates in the Bengali Panjika for 1987?
The first major observances of 1987 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1987
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1987
- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 2 February 1987
- Bhishma Ashtami - Friday, 6 February 1987
- Maha Shivaratri - Thursday, 26 February 1987
- Holika Dahan - Saturday, 14 March 1987
Which month of 1987 has the most observances in the Bengali Panjika?
October 1987 is the fullest month with 30 dates, including Daksha Savarni Manvadi, Durga Puja — Maha Navami, Bijoya Dashami (Sindur Khela), Dussehra / Dasara (Vijayadashami), Papankusha Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Ashwina Purnima Vrat.
Which traditional year does 1987 correspond to in the Bengali Panjika?
The Gregorian year 1987 spans Bangabda 1393 – 1394. 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 1987 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1987 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 1987?
1987 had 4 eclipses:
- 29 March 1987 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 14 April 1987 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 23 September 1987 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 7 October 1987 - 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 1987?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1987:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 3 February 1987
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 16 June 1987
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 26 October 1987, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Dhanu on 17 December 1987
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 1987?
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.
