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 1953 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 285 dates in 1953, opening with Kalashtami on 8 January and closing with Saphala Ekadashi on 31 December. Of these, 214 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 29 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1874 – 1875. 1953 carries an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1953

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1953 brought 5 eclipses - 3 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Vaishakha, running from 14 April 1953 to 13 May 1953. Gowri Habba fell on 11 September, 18 days later in the year than in 1952 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1953

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1953?

The Gowri Panchang lists 285 dates in 1953, of which 214 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Thursday, 8 January 1953, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Thursday, 31 December 1953.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1953?

The first major observances of 1953 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1953
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1953
  • Mattu Pongal - Thursday, 15 January 1953
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 19 January 1953
  • Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 21 January 1953
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Thursday, 22 January 1953
Which month of 1953 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 1953 is the fullest month with 29 dates, including Kalashtami, Aadi Perukku, Aadi Krithigai, Kamika Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Aadi Amavasai, Amavasya.

Which traditional year does 1953 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1953 spans Shaka Samvat 1874 – 1875. 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 1953 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1953 carried an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (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 1953 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1953?

1953 had 5 eclipses:

  • 30 January 1953 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 14 February 1953 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 11 July 1953 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 26 July 1953 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 9 August 1953 - Partial 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 1953?

Yes - 5 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1953:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 9 April 1953
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Kanya on 24 April 1953, moving retrograde
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 21 August 1953
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 30 August 1953
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 30 November 1953, moving retrograde

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 1953?

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.
