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.

Gowri Panchang 1947 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 295 dates in 1947, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 3 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 223 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1868 – 1869. 1947 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1947

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1947?

The Gowri Panchang lists 295 dates in 1947, of which 223 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 Gowri Panchang for 1947?

The first major observances of 1947 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Friday, 3 January 1947
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1947
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1947
  • Mattu Pongal - Wednesday, 15 January 1947
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 27 January 1947
  • Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 29 January 1947
Which month of 1947 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 1947 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Adhik Shravana Purnima, Adhik Shravana Purnima Vrat, Anvadhan, Aadi Perukku, Ishti, Sankashti Chaturthi, Kalashtami, Aadi Krithigai.

Which traditional year does 1947 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1947 spans Shaka Samvat 1868 – 1869. 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 Gowri Panchang - South Indian Almanac opens on the current month.

About the Gowri Panchang - South Indian Almanac

The Gowri Panchang is the South Indian daily almanac used across Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala. Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals with the Tamil solar month and Thiruvalluvar year. Tap a day for the eight Gowri Nalla Neram windows of the daytime and the night.

This is the South Indian Gowri Panchangam. Tap a day for the eight Gowri Nalla Neram windows of the daytime and the night. Uthi, Amirdha, Laabam, Dhanam and Sugam are the auspicious hours; Rogam, Soram and Visham are set aside. The yearly grid still carries tithi, nakshatra and South Indian festivals, with the Tamil solar month and Thiruvalluvar 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, Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam, and the Gowri Nalla Neram tables for day and night. 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.
