Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1962

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1962?

The Gowri Panchang lists 291 dates in 1962, of which 222 are vrats. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Tuesday, 2 January 1962, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Sunday, 30 December 1962.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1962?

The first major observances of 1962 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 13 January 1962
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 1962
  • Mattu Pongal - Monday, 15 January 1962
  • Thaipusam - Sunday, 21 January 1962
  • Vasant Panchami - Friday, 9 February 1962
  • Ratha Saptami - Sunday, 11 February 1962
Which month of 1962 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

April 1962 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Papamochani Ekadashi, Som Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Ishti, Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri.

Which traditional year does 1962 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1962 spans Shaka Samvat 1883 – 1884. 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 1962 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 1962 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 1962?

1962 had 5 eclipses:

  • 5 February 1962 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 19 February 1962 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 17 July 1962 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 31 July 1962 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 16 August 1962 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed

None of them carried Sutak Kaal in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1962?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1962:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 24 February 1962

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 1962?

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.
