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.
Hindi Panchang 1985 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindi Panchang lists 269 dates in 1985, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 2 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 214 are vrats (fasting observances). March is the fullest month with 27 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2041 – 2042. 1985 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Beyond the dates the Hindi Panchang lists, 1985 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 18 July 1985 to 16 August 1985. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 1984 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Hindi Panchang 1985
How many festivals and vrats does the Hindi Panchang list in 1985?
The Hindi Panchang lists 269 dates in 1985, of which 214 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Wednesday, 2 January 1985, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Monday, 30 December 1985.
What are the main festival dates in the Hindi Panchang for 1985?
The first major observances of 1985 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 13 January 1985
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 14 January 1985
- Vasant Panchami - Friday, 25 January 1985
- Bhishma Ashtami - Tuesday, 29 January 1985
- Maha Shivaratri - Sunday, 17 February 1985
- Holika Dahan - Wednesday, 6 March 1985
Which month of 1985 has the most observances in the Hindi Panchang?
March 1985 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Amalaki Ekadashi, Som Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Hola Mohalla, Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga, Ishti.
Which traditional year does 1985 correspond to in the Hindi Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1985 spans Vikram Samvat 2041 – 2042. 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 1985 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1985 carried an Adhik Maas (Shravana (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 1985 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1985?
1985 had 4 eclipses:
- 5 May 1985 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 20 May 1985 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 October 1985 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 12 November 1985 - Total 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 1985?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1985:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 10 January 1985
- Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 1 June 1985, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 17 September 1985
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 1985?
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 Hindi Panchang - Vikram Samvat opens on the current month.
About the Hindi Panchang - Vikram Samvat
The Hindi Panchang of the North Indian tradition (Vikram Samvat, Purnimanta month reckoning). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Samvat year and lunar 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.
