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 1963 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 298 dates in 1963, opening with Skanda Shashthi on 1 January and closing with Ishti on 31 December. Of these, 225 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 27 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1884 – 1885. 1963 carries an Adhik Maas (Kartika (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1963

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1963 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 Kartika, running from 18 October 1963 to 16 November 1963. Gowri Habba fell on 22 August, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1962 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Eclipses of 1963

Date (IST) Eclipse Gowri date Seen from India
10 Jan 4:49 AM Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 1 day after Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) Margazhi Krishna Pirathamai Penumbral only
25 Jan 7:06 PM Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) Thai Amavasai Not visible

30 Dec 4:36 PM Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) Margazhi Pournami Yes - Sutak observed

Sutak Kaal was observed for 2 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.

Guru and Shani in 1963

Date Graha Sign change
7 Mar 6:50 PM Guru (Jupiter) Kumbha → Meena

Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Mithuna on 19 May 1963, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1963

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1963?

The Gowri Panchang lists 298 dates in 1963, of which 225 are vrats. The first is Skanda Shashthi on Tuesday, 1 January 1963, and the last is Ishti on Tuesday, 31 December 1963.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1963?

The first major observances of 1963 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Sunday, 6 January 1963
  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Wednesday, 9 January 1963
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1963
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1963
  • Mattu Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 1963
  • Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 29 January 1963
Which month of 1963 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 1963 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Aadi Perukku, Shravana Purnima Vrat, Anvadhan, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti.

Which traditional year does 1963 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1963 spans Shaka Samvat 1884 – 1885. 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 1963 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1963 carried an Adhik Maas (Kartika (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 1963 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1963?

1963 had 5 eclipses:

  • 10 January 1963 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 25 January 1963 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 7 July 1963 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 21 July 1963 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 30 December 1963 - 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 2 of these were kept in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1963?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1963:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 7 March 1963

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 1963?

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.
