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 1977 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 290 dates in 1977, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 29 December. Of these, 221 are vrats (fasting observances).

What happened in the sky in 1977

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1977 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 Shravana, running from 17 July 1977 to 14 August 1977. Gowri Habba fell on 16 September, 18 days later in the year than in 1976 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Eclipses of 1977

Date (IST) Eclipse Gowri date Seen from India
4 Apr 9:48 AM Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Hanuman Jayanti Panguni Pournami Not visible
18 Apr 4:00 PM Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 3 days before Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej) Chithirai Amavasai Yes - Sutak observed

13 Oct 1:56 AM Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) on Sharad Navratri Begins (Ghatasthapana) Purattasi Shukla Pirathamai Not visible

Sutak Kaal was observed for 1 of these.

Guru and Shani in 1977

Date Graha Sign change
22 Feb 7:00 PM Guru (Jupiter) Mesha → Vrishabha
18 Jul 11:00 AM Guru (Jupiter) Vrishabha → Mithuna

Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Kanya on 1 May 1977, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1977

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1977?

The Gowri Panchang lists 290 dates in 1977, of which 221 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Saturday, 1 January 1977, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Thursday, 29 December 1977.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1977?

The first major observances of 1977 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 1 January 1977
  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Wednesday, 5 January 1977
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Thursday, 13 January 1977
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Friday, 14 January 1977
  • Mattu Pongal - Saturday, 15 January 1977
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 24 January 1977
Which month of 1977 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

January 1977 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Dharma Savarni Manvadi, Pausha Putrada Ekadashi, Vaikunta Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Pausha Purnima Vrat, Anvadhan, Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan), Pausha Purnima.

Which traditional year does 1977 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1977 spans Shaka Samvat 1898 – 1899. 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 1977 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1977 carried an Adhik Maas (Shravana (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 1977 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1977?

1977 had 4 eclipses:

  • 4 April 1977 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 18 April 1977 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 27 September 1977 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 13 October 1977 - Total solar eclipse (Surya 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 1977?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1977:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 22 February 1977
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 18 July 1977
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 7 September 1977

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 1977?

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.
