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.
Hindu Calendar 1950 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 377 dates in 1950, opening with Pradosh Vrat on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 28 December. Of these, 234 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 42 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2006 – 2007. 1950 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1950
Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 1950 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 Ashadha, running from 16 June 1950 to 15 July 1950. Vasant Panchami fell on 23 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1949 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

How many festivals and vrats does the Hindu Calendar list in 1950?
The Hindu Calendar lists 377 dates in 1950, of which 234 are vrats. The first is Pradosh Vrat on Sunday, 1 January 1950, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Thursday, 28 December 1950.
What are the main festival dates in the Hindu Calendar for 1950?

- Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) - Wednesday, 4 January 1950
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 13 January 1950

- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 23 January 1950
- Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 25 January 1950
Which month of 1950 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
November 1950 is the fullest month with 42 dates, including Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Dhanteras, Bhoot Chaturdashi, Kali Chaudas, Masik Shivaratri.
Which traditional year does 1950 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1950 spans Vikram Samvat 2006 – 2007. 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 1950 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1950 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (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 1950 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1950?
1950 had 4 eclipses:
- 18 March 1950 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 3 April 1950 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 12 September 1950 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 September 1950 - 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 1950?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1950:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 13 March 1950
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kanya on 20 September 1950
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 1950?
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 Hindu Calendar - Panchangam opens on the current month.
About the Hindu Calendar - Panchangam
The Hindu lunar calendar (Panchang). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and any festivals or vrats, with the Vikram Samvat year and the lunar (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.
