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 1966 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 382 dates in 1966, opening with Samba Dashami on 2 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 238 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 43 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2022 – 2023. 1966 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1966
Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 1966 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 19 July 1966 to 16 August 1966. Samba Dashami fell on 2 January, 11 days earlier in the year than in 1965 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1966

Sutak Kaal was observed for 1 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.

Which month of 1966 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
November 1966 is the fullest month with 43 dates, including Atla Taddi, Karva Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Dhanteras, Bhoot Chaturdashi.
Which traditional year does 1966 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1966 spans Vikram Samvat 2022 – 2023. 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 1966 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1966 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 1966 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1966?
1966 had 4 eclipses:
- 5 May 1966 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 20 May 1966 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 29 October 1966 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 12 November 1966 - Total 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 1966?
Yes - 6 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1966:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 10 January 1966, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 24 March 1966
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 9 April 1966
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 21 August 1966
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 3 November 1966, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 20 December 1966
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 1966?
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.
