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 1980 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 288 dates in 1980, opening with Anvadhan on 1 January and closing with Kalashtami on 29 December. Of these, 218 are vrats (fasting observances). March is the fullest month with 31 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1901 – 1902. 1980 carries an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1980

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1980 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Jyeshtha, running from 15 May 1980 to 12 June 1980. Gowri Habba fell on 12 September, 19 days later in the year than in 1979 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Eclipses of 1980

Date (IST) Eclipse Gowri date Seen from India
16 Feb 2:23 PM Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 2 days after Maha Shivaratri Maasi Amavasai Yes - Sutak observed
2 Mar 2:15 AM Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Attukal Pongala Maasi Krishna Pirathamai Penumbral only
28 Jul 12:38 AM Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 1 day after Guru Purnima Aadi Krishna Pirathamai Penumbral only
11 Aug 12:41 AM Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) Aadi Shukla Pirathamai Not visible
26 Aug 9:00 AM Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Avani Avittam (Upakarma) Aavani Pournami Not visible

Sutak Kaal was observed for 1 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.

Guru and Shani in 1980

Date Graha Sign change
15 Mar 5:10 AM Shani (Saturn) Kanya → Simha re-entry while retrograde
27 Jul 9:40 AM Shani (Saturn) Simha → Kanya
26 Sep 5:40 PM Guru (Jupiter) Simha → Kanya

Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Karka on 6 June 1980, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1980

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1980?

The Gowri Panchang lists 288 dates in 1980, of which 218 are vrats. The first is Anvadhan on Tuesday, 1 January 1980, and the last is Kalashtami on Monday, 29 December 1980.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1980?

The first major observances of 1980 are:

  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Wednesday, 2 January 1980
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 14 January 1980
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 1980
  • Mattu Pongal - Wednesday, 16 January 1980
  • Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 22 January 1980
  • Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 24 January 1980
Which month of 1980 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

March 1980 is the fullest month with 31 dates, including Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Masi Magam, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Savarni Manvadi, Attukal Pongala, Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga, Ishti.

Which traditional year does 1980 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1980 spans Shaka Samvat 1901 – 1902. 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 1980 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1980 carried an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (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 1980 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1980?

1980 had 5 eclipses:

  • 16 February 1980 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 2 March 1980 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 28 July 1980 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
  • 11 August 1980 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 26 August 1980 - Penumbral 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 1980?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1980:

  • Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 15 March 1980, moving retrograde
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Kanya on 27 July 1980
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 26 September 1980

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 1980?

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.
