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 1985 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 382 dates in 1985, opening with Samba Dashami on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 30 December. Of these, 237 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 40 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2041 – 2042. 1985 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 1985 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 18 July 1985 to 16 August 1985. Samba Dashami fell on 1 January, 12 days earlier in the year than in 1984 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Which month of 1985 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
November 1985 is the fullest month with 40 dates, including Karva Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi, Vasubaras / Vagh Baras (Govatsa Dwadashi), Dhanteras, Bhoot Chaturdashi, Kali Chaudas.
Which traditional year does 1985 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1985 spans Vikram Samvat 2041 – 2042. 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 1985 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1985 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 1985 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1985?
1985 had 4 eclipses:
- 5 May 1985 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 20 May 1985 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 October 1985 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 12 November 1985 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1985?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1985:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Makara on 10 January 1985
- Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 1 June 1985, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 17 September 1985
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 1985?
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.
