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 1977 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 374 dates in 1977, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 29 December. Of these, 236 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 42 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2033 – 2034. 1977 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Which month of 1977 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
November 1977 is the fullest month with 42 dates, including Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Bhoot Chaturdashi, Dhanteras, Kali Chaudas, Masik Shivaratri.
Which traditional year does 1977 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1977 spans Vikram Samvat 2033 – 2034. 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 1977 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1977 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 1977 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1977?
1977 had 4 eclipses:
- 4 April 1977 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 18 April 1977 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 27 September 1977 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 13 October 1977 - 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 1977?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1977:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 22 February 1977
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 18 July 1977
- Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 7 September 1977
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 1977?
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.
