Frequently asked questions about the Gowri Panchang 1986

How many festivals and vrats does the Gowri Panchang list in 1986?

The Gowri Panchang lists 291 dates in 1986, of which 222 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Friday, 3 January 1986, and the last is Ishti on Wednesday, 31 December 1986.

What are the main festival dates in the Gowri Panchang for 1986?

The first major observances of 1986 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1986
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1986
  • Mattu Pongal - Wednesday, 15 January 1986
  • Thaipusam - Sunday, 26 January 1986
  • Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 13 February 1986
  • Ratha Saptami - Sunday, 16 February 1986
Which month of 1986 has the most observances in the Gowri Panchang?

April 1986 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Kalashtami, Papamochani Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Amavasya, Ishti.

Which traditional year does 1986 correspond to in the Gowri Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1986 spans Shaka Samvat 1907 – 1908. 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 1986 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 1986 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.

Were there any eclipses in 1986?

1986 had 4 eclipses:

  • 9 April 1986 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 24 April 1986 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 4 October 1986 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 18 October 1986 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed

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 1986?

Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1986:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 25 January 1986

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 1986?

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.
