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.
Gujarati Panchang 1955 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Gujarati Panchang lists 264 dates in 1955, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 2 January and closing with Margashirsha Purnima on 29 December. Of these, 215 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Gujarati Samvat 2010 – 2011. 1955 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1955
Beyond the dates the Gujarati Panchang lists, 1955 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 5 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Bhadrapada, running from 18 August 1955 to 16 September 1955. Vasant Panchami fell on 28 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 1954 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1955
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Gujarati date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 Jan 6:02 PM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) | Posh Punam | Penumbral only |
| 5 Jun 7:52 PM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Batuka Bhairava Jayanti | Jetha Punam | Penumbral only |
| 20 Jun 9:40 AM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) | Ashadha Amas | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 29 Nov 10:29 PM | Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Guru Nanak Jayanti | Magshar Punam | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 14 Dec 12:31 PM | Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) | Magshar Amas | Yes - Sutak observed |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 3 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 1955
| Date | Graha | Sign change |
|---|---|---|
| 28 Jan 6:00 PM | Guru (Jupiter) | Karka → Mithuna re-entry while retrograde |

| 1 Oct 5:30 PM | Guru (Jupiter) | Karka → Simha |
| 12 Nov 12:10 PM | Shani (Saturn) | Tula → Vrishchika |
Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Vrishchika on 19 August 1955, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gujarati Panchang 1955
How many festivals and vrats does the Gujarati Panchang list in 1955?
The Gujarati Panchang lists 264 dates in 1955, of which 215 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Sunday, 2 January 1955, and the last is Margashirsha Purnima on Thursday, 29 December 1955.
What are the main festival dates in the Gujarati Panchang for 1955?
The first major observances of 1955 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Thursday, 13 January 1955
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Friday, 14 January 1955
- Vasant Panchami - Friday, 28 January 1955
- Bhishma Ashtami - Monday, 31 January 1955
- Maha Shivaratri - Sunday, 20 February 1955
- Holika Dahan - Tuesday, 8 March 1955
Which month of 1955 has the most observances in the Gujarati Panchang?
November 1955 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Dhanteras, Kali Chaudas, Masik Shivaratri, Diwali (Lakshmi Puja).
Which traditional year does 1955 correspond to in the Gujarati Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1955 spans Gujarati Samvat 2010 – 2011. 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 1955 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1955 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 1955 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1955?
1955 had 5 eclipses:
- 8 January 1955 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 5 June 1955 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 20 June 1955 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 29 November 1955 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 14 December 1955 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1955?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1955:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 28 January 1955, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 3 May 1955
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 1 October 1955
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 12 November 1955
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 1955?
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 Gujarati Panchang opens on the current month.
About the Gujarati Panchang
The Gujarati Panchang (Vikram Samvat with the Kartika new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Samvat year and the Amanta month.
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, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). 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.
