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.

Frequently asked questions about the Gujarati Panchang 1973
How many festivals and vrats does the Gujarati Panchang list in 1973?
The Gujarati Panchang lists 261 dates in 1973, of which 213 are vrats. The first is Som Pradosh Vrat on Monday, 1 January 1973, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Friday, 28 December 1973.
What are the main festival dates in the Gujarati Panchang for 1973?
The first major observances of 1973 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 13 January 1973
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 1973
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 8 February 1973
- Maha Shivaratri - Saturday, 3 March 1973
- Holika Dahan - Sunday, 18 March 1973
- Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga - Monday, 19 March 1973
Which month of 1973 has the most observances in the Gujarati Panchang?
August 1973 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Vinayaka Chaturthi, Nag Panchami, Masik Durgashtami, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Jhulan Yatra (Hindola) Begins, Shani Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Shravana Purnima Vrat.
Which traditional year does 1973 correspond to in the Gujarati Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1973 spans Gujarati Samvat 2028 – 2029. 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 1973 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1973 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 1973?
1973 had 7 eclipses:
- 4 January 1973 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 January 1973 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 16 June 1973 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 30 June 1973 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 15 July 1973 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 10 December 1973 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 24 December 1973 - Annular 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 1973?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1973:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 25 January 1973
- Shani (Saturn) entered Mithuna on 10 June 1973
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 1973?
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.
