What happened in the sky in 1957

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1957 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Gowri Habba fell on 28 August, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1956 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Eclipses of 1957

Date (IST) Eclipse Gowri date Seen from India
30 Apr 5:34 AM Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 2 days before Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej) Chithirai Shukla Pirathamai Yes - Sutak observed

Sutak Kaal was observed for 3 of these.

Guru and Shani in 1957

19 Jun 4:50 PM Guru (Jupiter) Simha → Kanya

Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Tula on 7 March 1957, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1957

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1957?

The Gowri Panchang lists 289 dates in 1957, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Ishti on Tuesday, 1 January 1957, and the last is Masik Durgashtami on Sunday, 29 December 1957.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1957?

The first major observances of 1957 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 12 January 1957
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1957
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1957
  • Mattu Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 1957
  • Thaipusam - Thursday, 17 January 1957
  • Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 5 February 1957
Which month of 1957 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

July 1957 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Vinayaka Chaturthi, Skanda Shashthi, Ani Thirumanjanam, Raivata Manvadi, Devshayani (Ashadhi) Ekadashi, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Ashadha Purnima Vrat.

Which traditional year does 1957 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1957 spans Shaka Samvat 1878 – 1879. 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 1957 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 1957 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 1957?

1957 had 4 eclipses:

  • 30 April 1957 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 14 May 1957 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 23 October 1957 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 7 November 1957 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed

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 1957?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1957:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 18 April 1957, moving retrograde
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 19 June 1957
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 28 November 1957

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 1957?

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.
