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 1972 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 374 dates in 1972, opening with Ishti on 1 January and closing with Saphala Ekadashi on 31 December. Of these, 233 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 38 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2028 – 2029. 1972 carries an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1972
Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 1972 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 Vaishakha, running from 14 April 1972 to 13 May 1972. Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) fell on 1 January, 9 days earlier in the year than in 1971 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

August 1972 is the fullest month with 38 dates, including Aadi Perukku, Kalashtami, Kamika Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Aadi Amavasai.
Which traditional year does 1972 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1972 spans Vikram Samvat 2028 – 2029. 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 1972 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1972 carried an Adhik Maas (Vaishakha (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 1972 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1972?
1972 had 4 eclipses:
- 16 January 1972 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 January 1972 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 11 July 1972 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 July 1972 - Partial 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 1972?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1972:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 6 January 1972
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 1972?
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.
