Frequently asked questions about the Kannada Panchanga 1956
How many festivals and vrats does the Kannada Panchanga list in 1956?
The Kannada Panchanga lists 271 dates in 1956, of which 220 are vrats. The first is Sankashti Chaturthi on Sunday, 1 January 1956, and the last is Darsha Amavasya on Monday, 31 December 1956.
What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Panchanga for 1956?
The first major observances of 1956 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 13 January 1956
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 14 January 1956
- Thaipusam - Friday, 27 January 1956
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 16 February 1956
- Ratha Saptami - Saturday, 18 February 1956
- Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 19 February 1956
Which month of 1956 has the most observances in the Kannada Panchanga?
September 1956 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Aja Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Ishti, Gowri Habba.
Which traditional year does 1956 correspond to in the Kannada Panchanga?
The Gregorian year 1956 spans Shaka Samvat 1877 – 1878. 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 1956 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1956 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 1956?
1956 had 4 eclipses:
- 24 May 1956 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 9 June 1956 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 18 November 1956 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 2 December 1956 - Partial 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 1956?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1956:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 14 March 1956, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 22 May 1956
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 28 October 1956
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 1956?
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 Kannada Panchanga opens on the current month.
About the Kannada Panchanga
The Kannada Panchanga (Shalivahana Shaka, Yugadi new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Shaka year and the Amanta month.
Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.
This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
