Which traditional year does 1992 correspond to in the Kannada Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1992 spans Shaka Samvat 1913 – 1914. 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 1992 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1992 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 1992?
1992 had 5 eclipses:
- 5 January 1992 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 15 June 1992 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 30 June 1992 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 December 1992 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 24 December 1992 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1992?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1992:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 11 September 1992
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 1992?
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.
