Which traditional year does 1960 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1960 spans Vikram Samvat 2016 – 2017. 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 1960 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1960 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 1960?
1960 had 4 eclipses:
- 13 March 1960 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 27 March 1960 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 September 1960 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 21 September 1960 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya 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 1960?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1960:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 22 January 1960
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 1960?
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.
