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 1993 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Hindi Panchang lists 266 dates in 1993, opening with Masik Durgashtami on 1 January and closing with Ishti on 29 December. Of these, 212 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 26 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2049 – 2050. 1993 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1993

Beyond the dates the Hindi Panchang lists, 1993 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 1 was above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Bhadrapada, running from 18 August 1993 to 16 September 1993. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 1992 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Hindi Panchang 1993

How many festivals and vrats does the Hindi Panchang list in 1993?

The Hindi Panchang lists 266 dates in 1993, of which 212 are vrats. The first is Masik Durgashtami on Friday, 1 January 1993, and the last is Ishti on Wednesday, 29 December 1993.

What are the main festival dates in the Hindi Panchang for 1993?

The first major observances of 1993 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 13 January 1993
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 14 January 1993
  • Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 27 January 1993
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 31 January 1993
  • Maha Shivaratri - Friday, 19 February 1993
  • Holika Dahan - Monday, 8 March 1993
Which month of 1993 has the most observances in the Hindi Panchang?

November 1993 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Karva Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya.

Which traditional year does 1993 correspond to in the Hindi Panchang?

The Gregorian year 1993 spans Vikram Samvat 2049 – 2050. 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 1993 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1993 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 1993 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1993?

1993 had 4 eclipses:

  • 21 May 1993 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 4 June 1993 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 14 November 1993 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 29 November 1993 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India

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 1993?

Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1993:

  • Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 5 March 1993
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 12 October 1993
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Makara on 15 October 1993, moving retrograde
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 10 November 1993

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 1993?

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.
