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.
Kashmiri Panchang 1980 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Kashmiri Panchang lists 246 dates in 1980, opening with Anvadhan on 1 January and closing with Kalashtami on 29 December. Of these, 203 are vrats (fasting observances). March is the fullest month with 27 dates. The year runs through Saptarshi Samvat 5055 – 5056. 1980 carries an Adhik Maas (Jyeshtha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1980
Beyond the dates the Kashmiri Panchang lists, 1980 brought 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 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 15 May 1980 to 12 June 1980. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 14 January, 1 day later in the year than in 1979 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1980
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Hindu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 Feb 2:23 PM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 2 days after Maha Shivaratri | Phalguna Amavasya | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 2 Mar 2:15 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga | Phalguna Krishna Pratipada | Penumbral only |

| 26 Aug 9:00 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Gayatri Jayanti | Bhadrapada Purnima | Not visible |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 1 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 1980
| Date | Graha | Sign change |
|---|---|---|
| 15 Mar 5:10 AM | Shani (Saturn) | Kanya → Simha re-entry while retrograde |

| 26 Sep 5:40 PM | Guru (Jupiter) | Simha → Kanya |

Frequently asked questions about the Kashmiri Panchang 1980
How many festivals and vrats does the Kashmiri Panchang list in 1980?
The Kashmiri Panchang lists 246 dates in 1980, of which 203 are vrats. The first is Anvadhan on Tuesday, 1 January 1980, and the last is Kalashtami on Monday, 29 December 1980.
What are the main festival dates in the Kashmiri Panchang for 1980?
The first major observances of 1980 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Monday, 14 January 1980
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 1980
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 22 January 1980
- Maha Shivaratri - Thursday, 14 February 1980
- Holika Dahan - Saturday, 1 March 1980
- Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga - Sunday, 2 March 1980
Which month of 1980 has the most observances in the Kashmiri Panchang?
March 1980 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Anvadhan, Holika Dahan, Phalguna Purnima Vrat, Savarni Manvadi, Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga, Ishti, Sankashti Chaturthi, Kalashtami.
Which traditional year does 1980 correspond to in the Kashmiri Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1980 spans Saptarshi Samvat 5055 – 5056. 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 1980 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1980 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 1980 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1980?
1980 had 5 eclipses:
- 16 February 1980 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 2 March 1980 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 28 July 1980 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 11 August 1980 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 August 1980 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 1980?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1980:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 15 March 1980, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kanya on 27 July 1980
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 26 September 1980
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 1980?
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 Kashmiri Panchang - Saptrishi Samvat opens on the current month.
