Which traditional year does 1995 correspond to in the Indian Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1995 spans Shaka Samvat 1916 – 1917. 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 1995 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1995 had twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Were there any eclipses in 1995?
1995 had 4 eclipses:
- 15 April 1995 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 29 April 1995 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 8 October 1995 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 24 October 1995 - 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 1995?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1995:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 2 June 1995
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 10 August 1995, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 7 December 1995
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 1995?
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 Indian Calendar opens on the current month.
