Which traditional year does 1984 correspond to in the Jain Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1984 spans Vira Nirvana Samvat 2509 – 2510. 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 1984 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1984 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 1984?
1984 had 5 eclipses:
- 15 May 1984 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 May 1984 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1984?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1984:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 21 December 1984
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 1984?
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 Jain Panchang opens on the current month.
