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.

Kannada Panchanga 1999 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Kannada Panchanga lists 269 dates in 1999, opening with Anvadhan on 1 January and closing with Kalashtami on 29 December. Of these, 217 are vrats (fasting observances). March is the fullest month with 29 dates. The year runs through Shaka Samvat 1920 – 1921. 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 Kannada Panchanga 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. Vasant Panchami fell on 22 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 1998 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Kannada Panchanga 1999

How many festivals and vrats does the Kannada Panchanga list in 1999?

The Kannada Panchanga lists 269 dates in 1999, of which 217 are vrats. The first is Anvadhan on Friday, 1 January 1999, and the last is Kalashtami on Wednesday, 29 December 1999.

What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Panchanga for 1999?

The first major observances of 1999 are:

  • Bhogi / Lohri - Wednesday, 13 January 1999
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Thursday, 14 January 1999
  • Vasant Panchami - Friday, 22 January 1999
  • Ratha Saptami - Sunday, 24 January 1999
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Monday, 25 January 1999
  • Thaipusam - Sunday, 31 January 1999
Which month of 1999 has the most observances in the Kannada Panchanga?

March 1999 is the fullest month with 29 dates, including Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga, Ishti, Phalguna Purnima, Savarni Manvadi, Sankashti Chaturthi.

Which traditional year does 1999 correspond to in the Kannada Panchanga?

The Gregorian year 1999 spans Shaka Samvat 1920 – 1921. 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 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.
