Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1970
How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1970?
The Gowri Panchang lists 292 dates in 1970, of which 223 are vrats. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Sunday, 4 January 1970, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Thursday, 31 December 1970.
What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1970?
The first major observances of 1970 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1970
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1970
- Mattu Pongal - Thursday, 15 January 1970
- Thaipusam - Friday, 23 January 1970
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 10 February 1970
- Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 12 February 1970
Which month of 1970 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?
August 1970 is the fullest month with 30 dates, including Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Aadi Amavasai, Aadi Perukku, Amavasya, Ishti, Karkidaka Vavu Bali, Aadi Pooram.
Which traditional year does 1970 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1970 spans Shaka Samvat 1891 – 1892. 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 1970 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1970 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 1970?
1970 had 4 eclipses:
- 21 February 1970 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 March 1970 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 August 1970 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 1 September 1970 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
None of them carried Sutak Kaal in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1970?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1970:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 11 December 1970
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 1970?
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.
