Which traditional year does 1975 correspond to in the Gujarati Samvat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1975 spans Gujarati Samvat 2030 – 2031. 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 1975 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1975 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 1975?
1975 had 4 eclipses:
- 11 May 1975 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 25 May 1975 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 3 November 1975 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 November 1975 - 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 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1975?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1975:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 19 February 1975
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 18 July 1975
- Shani (Saturn) entered Karka on 23 July 1975
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 11 September 1975, moving retrograde
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 1975?
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 Samvat Calendar opens on the current month.
