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 1985 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Gowri Panchang lists 294 dates in 1985, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 2 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 222 are vrats (fasting observances).

The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1906 – 1907. 1985 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1985

Beyond the dates the Gowri Panchang lists, 1985 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 Shravana, running from 18 July 1985 to 16 August 1985. Gowri Habba fell on 17 September, 18 days later in the year than in 1984 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Eclipses of 1985

Date (IST) Eclipse Gowri date Seen from India
5 May 1:26 AM Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Narada Jayanti Chithirai Krishna Pirathamai Yes - Sutak observed
20 May 2:58 AM Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 1 day after Shani Jayanti Vaikasi Shukla Pirathamai Not visible
28 Oct 11:12 PM Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Valmiki Jayanti Aippasi Pournami Yes - Sutak observed
12 Nov 7:40 PM Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) on Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) Aippasi Amavasai Not visible

Sutak Kaal was observed for 2 of these.

Guru and Shani in 1985

Date Graha Sign change
10 Jan 2:40 PM Guru (Jupiter) Dhanu → Makara
1 Jun 2:40 AM Shani (Saturn) Vrishchika → Tula re-entry while retrograde
17 Sep 5:20 AM Shani (Saturn) Tula → Vrishchika

Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Mesha on 29 January 1985, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1985

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1985?

The Gowri Panchang lists 294 dates in 1985, of which 222 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Wednesday, 2 January 1985, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Monday, 30 December 1985.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1985?

The first major observances of 1985 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Thursday, 3 January 1985
  • Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Sunday, 6 January 1985
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1985
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1985
  • Mattu Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 1985
  • Vasant Panchami - Friday, 25 January 1985
Which month of 1985 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

August 1985 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Ishti, Aadi Perukku, Sankashti Chaturthi, Kalashtami, Aadi Krithigai, Parama Ekadashi, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri.

Which traditional year does 1985 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1985 spans Shaka Samvat 1906 – 1907. 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 1985 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1985 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 1985 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1985?

1985 had 4 eclipses:

  • 5 May 1985 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 20 May 1985 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 28 October 1985 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 12 November 1985 - Total 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 1985?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1985:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 10 January 1985
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 1 June 1985, moving retrograde
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 17 September 1985

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 1985?

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.
