- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 31 January 1952
Which month of 1952 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?
August 1952 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Varalakshmi Vratham, Aadi Perukku, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti, Raksha Bandhan.
Which traditional year does 1952 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1952 spans Shaka Samvat 1873 – 1874. 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 Gowri Panchang - South Indian Almanac opens on the current month.
