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 1963 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Gujarati Panchang lists 266 dates in 1963, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 3 January and closing with Ishti on 31 December. Of these, 217 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 28 dates. The year runs through Gujarati Samvat 2018 – 2019. 1963 carries an Adhik Maas (Kartika (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1963
Beyond the dates the Gujarati Panchang lists, 1963 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 Kartika, running from 18 October 1963 to 16 November 1963. Vasant Panchami fell on 29 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1962 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1963
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Gujarati date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 Jan 4:49 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 3 days before Bhogi / Lohri | Posh Vad Padvo | Penumbral only |
| 25 Jan 7:06 PM | Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) | Maha Amas | Not visible |
| 7 Jul 3:32 AM | Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 1 day after Guru Purnima | Ashadha Vad Padvo | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 21 Jul 2:05 AM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) | Shravana Sud Padvo | Not visible |
| 30 Dec 4:36 PM | Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) | Posh Punam | Yes - Sutak observed |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 2 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 1963
| Date | Graha | Sign change |
|---|---|---|
| 7 Mar 6:50 PM | Guru (Jupiter) | Kumbha → Meena |
Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu entered Mithuna on 19 May 1963, carrying the eclipse axis with it.

Frequently asked questions about the Gujarati Panchang 1963
How many festivals and vrats does the Gujarati Panchang list in 1963?
The Gujarati Panchang lists 266 dates in 1963, of which 217 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Thursday, 3 January 1963, and the last is Ishti on Tuesday, 31 December 1963.
What are the main festival dates in the Gujarati Panchang for 1963?
The first major observances of 1963 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1963
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1963
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 29 January 1963
- Bhishma Ashtami - Friday, 1 February 1963
- Maha Shivaratri - Friday, 22 February 1963
- Holika Dahan - Saturday, 9 March 1963
Which month of 1963 has the most observances in the Gujarati Panchang?
August 1963 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Jhulan Yatra (Hindola) Begins, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Shravana Purnima Vrat, Anvadhan, Gayatri Jayanti, Narali Purnima (Nariyal Purnima), Raksha Bandhan.
Which traditional year does 1963 correspond to in the Gujarati Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1963 spans Gujarati Samvat 2018 – 2019. 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 1963 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1963 carried an Adhik Maas (Kartika (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 1963 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1963?
1963 had 5 eclipses:
- 10 January 1963 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 25 January 1963 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 July 1963 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 21 July 1963 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 December 1963 - 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 1963?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1963:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 7 March 1963
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 1963?
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.
