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 1964 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 286 dates in 1964, opening with Kalashtami on 6 January and closing with Pradosh Vrat on 31 December. Of these, 216 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1885 – 1886. 1964 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1964

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1964 brought 6 eclipses - 4 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Chaitra, running from 15 March 1964 to 12 April 1964. Gowri Habba fell on 9 September, 19 days later in the year than in 1963 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1964

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1964?

The Gowri Panchang lists 286 dates in 1964, of which 216 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Monday, 6 January 1964, and the last is Pradosh Vrat on Thursday, 31 December 1964.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1964?

The first major observances of 1964 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1964
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1964
  • Mattu Pongal - Wednesday, 15 January 1964
  • Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 19 January 1964
  • Ratha Saptami - Tuesday, 21 January 1964
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Wednesday, 22 January 1964
Which month of 1964 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 1964 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Aadi Krithigai, Aadi Perukku, Kamika Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Aadi Amavasai, Amavasya, Anvadhan.

Which traditional year does 1964 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1964 spans Shaka Samvat 1885 – 1886. 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 1964 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1964 carried an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (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 1964 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1964?

1964 had 6 eclipses:

  • 15 January 1964 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 10 June 1964 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 25 June 1964 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 9 July 1964 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 4 December 1964 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 19 December 1964 - 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 1964?

Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1964:

  • Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 27 January 1964
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 15 March 1964
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 3 August 1964
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 27 October 1964, moving retrograde

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 1964?

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.
