What are the main festival dates in the Kannada Calendar for 1967?
The first major observances of 1967 are:
- Makara Sankranti (Suggi) - Saturday, 14 January 1967
- Thaipusam - Thursday, 26 January 1967
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 14 February 1967
- Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 16 February 1967
- Maha Shivaratri - Thursday, 9 March 1967
- Kamana Habba (Holi) - Saturday, 25 March 1967
Which traditional year does 1967 correspond to in the Kannada Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1967 spans Shaka Samvat 1888 – 1889. 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 1967 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1967 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 1967?
1967 had 4 eclipses:
- 24 April 1967 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 9 May 1967 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 18 October 1967 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 2 November 1967 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 1967?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1967:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 14 September 1967
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 1967?
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 Calendar opens on the current month.
