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 1972 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 289 dates in 1972, opening with Ishti on 1 January and closing with Saphala Ekadashi on 31 December. Of these, 218 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1893 – 1894. 1972 carries an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1972

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1972 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 1 was above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Vaishakha, running from 14 April 1972 to 13 May 1972. Gowri Habba fell on 10 September, 18 days later in the year than in 1971 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Guru and Shani in 1972

Date Graha Sign change

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1972

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1972?

The Gowri Panchang lists 289 dates in 1972, of which 218 are vrats. The first is Ishti on Saturday, 1 January 1972, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Sunday, 31 December 1972.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1972?

The first major observances of 1972 are:

  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Saturday, 1 January 1972
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 14 January 1972
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 15 January 1972
  • Mattu Pongal - Sunday, 16 January 1972
  • Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 20 January 1972
  • Ratha Saptami - Saturday, 22 January 1972
Which month of 1972 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 1972 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Aadi Perukku, Kalashtami, Kamika Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Aadi Amavasai.

Which traditional year does 1972 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1972 spans Shaka Samvat 1893 – 1894. 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 1972 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1972 carried an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (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 1972 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1972?

1972 had 4 eclipses:

  • 16 January 1972 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 30 January 1972 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 11 July 1972 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 26 July 1972 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India

Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1972?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1972:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 6 January 1972

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 1972?

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.
