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 1974 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 296 dates in 1974, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 2 January and closing with Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) on 29 December. Of these, 223 are vrats (fasting observances). January is the fullest month with 27 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1895 – 1896. 1974 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1974

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1974 brought 4 eclipses - 2 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 Bhadrapada, running from 18 August 1974 to 16 September 1974. Gowri Habba fell on 18 September, 19 days later in the year than in 1973 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Eclipses of 1974

Date (IST) Eclipse Gowri date Seen from India
5 Jun 3:45 AM Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 1 day after Batuka Bhairava Jayanti Vaikasi Krishna Pirathamai Yes - Sutak observed
20 Jun 10:17 AM Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) Aani Amavasai Not visible
29 Nov 8:43 PM Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Guru Nanak Jayanti Karthikai Pournami Yes - Sutak observed
13 Dec 9:42 PM Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 3 days before Dhanurmasam Begins Karthikai Amavasai Not visible

Sutak Kaal was observed for 2 of these.

Guru and Shani in 1974

Date Graha Sign change
9 Feb 10:40 AM Guru (Jupiter) Makara → Kumbha

Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Vrishchika on 25 March 1974, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1974

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1974?

The Gowri Panchang lists 296 dates in 1974, of which 223 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Wednesday, 2 January 1974, and the last is Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) on Sunday, 29 December 1974.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1974?

The first major observances of 1974 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Friday, 4 January 1974
  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Tuesday, 8 January 1974
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1974
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1974
  • Mattu Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 1974
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 28 January 1974
Which month of 1974 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

January 1974 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Masik Durgashtami, Pausha Putrada Ekadashi, Vaikunta Ekadashi, Dharma Savarni Manvadi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan), Pausha Purnima.

Which traditional year does 1974 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1974 spans Shaka Samvat 1895 – 1896. 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 1974 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1974 carried an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (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 1974 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1974?

1974 had 4 eclipses:

  • 5 June 1974 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 20 June 1974 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 29 November 1974 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 13 December 1974 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India

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 1974?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1974:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 9 February 1974

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 1974?

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.
