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 1999 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Hindu Calendar lists 377 dates in 1999, opening with Anvadhan on 1 January and closing with Kalashtami on 29 December. Of these, 235 are vrats (fasting observances). March is the fullest month with 43 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2055 – 2056. 1999 carries an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1999
Beyond the dates the Hindu Calendar lists, 1999 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 Jyeshtha, running from 16 May 1999 to 13 June 1999. Margazhi Thiruvathirai (Arudra Darshan) fell on 2 January, 9 days earlier in the year than in 1998 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Which month of 1999 has the most observances in the Hindu Calendar?
March 1999 is the fullest month with 43 dates, including Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Masi Magam, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Attukal Pongala, Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga, Ishti, Phalguna Purnima.
Which traditional year does 1999 correspond to in the Hindu Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1999 spans Vikram Samvat 2055 – 2056. 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 1999 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1999 carried an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (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 1999 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1999?
1999 had 4 eclipses:
- 31 January 1999 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 16 February 1999 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 July 1999 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 11 August 1999 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
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 1999?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1999:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 13 January 1999
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mesha on 26 May 1999
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 1999?
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.
