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 1958 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Gowri Panchang lists 292 dates in 1958, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 29 December. Of these, 221 are vrats (fasting observances). January is the fullest month with 27 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1879 – 1880. 1958 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1958
Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1958 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 17 July 1958 to 15 August 1958. Gowri Habba fell on 16 September, 19 days later in the year than in 1957 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Which traditional year does 1958 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1958 spans Shaka Samvat 1879 – 1880. 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 1958 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1958 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 1958 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1958?
1958 had 5 eclipses:
- 4 April 1958 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 April 1958 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 3 May 1958 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 13 October 1958 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 27 October 1958 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1958?
Yes - 6 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1958:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Dhanu on 8 February 1958
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 18 May 1958, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 2 June 1958, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 21 July 1958
- Shani (Saturn) entered Dhanu on 7 November 1958
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 28 December 1958
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.
