What happened in the sky in 1997
Beyond the dates the Kannada Panchanga lists, 1997 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 1996 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1997
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Hindu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|

Frequently asked questions about the Kannada Panchanga 1997
How many festivals and vrats does the Kannada Panchanga list in 1997?
The Kannada Panchanga lists 271 dates in 1997, of which 220 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Wednesday, 1 January 1997, and the last is Ishti on Tuesday, 30 December 1997.
What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Panchanga for 1997?
The first major observances of 1997 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 13 January 1997
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 1997
- Thaipusam - Friday, 24 January 1997
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 11 February 1997
- Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 13 February 1997
- Bhishma Ashtami - Friday, 14 February 1997
Which month of 1997 has the most observances in the Kannada Panchanga?
October 1997 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Mahalaya / Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Ishti, Sharad Navratri Begins (Ghatasthapana), Vinayaka Chaturthi, Daksha Savarni Manvadi, Ayudha Puja / Saraswati Puja.
Which traditional year does 1997 correspond to in the Kannada Panchanga?
The Gregorian year 1997 spans Shaka Samvat 1918 – 1919. 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 1997 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1997 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 1997?
1997 had 4 eclipses:
- 9 March 1997 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 24 March 1997 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 2 September 1997 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 September 1997 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 1997?
No. Neither of the slow grahas crossed a sign boundary in 1997 - it was a full year of Guru (Jupiter) in Makara</strong> and <strong>Shani (Saturn) in Meena.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 1997?
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.
