Which month of 1954 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?
April 1954 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Ishti, Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri, Swayambhuva Manvadi.
Which traditional year does 1954 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1954 spans Shaka Samvat 1875 – 1876. 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 1954 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1954 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 1954?
1954 had 5 eclipses:
- 5 January 1954 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 January 1954 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 30 June 1954 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 16 July 1954 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 25 December 1954 - 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 1954?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1954:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 20 April 1954
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 9 September 1954
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 1954?
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.
