Kashmiri Calendar 1982 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Kashmiri Calendar lists 19 dates in 1982, opening with Khetsimavas (Kheche Mavas) on 25 January and closing with Bhai Dooj on 17 November. Of these, 1 are vrats (fasting observances). The year runs through Saptarshi Samvat 5057 – 5058. 1982 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Months of the Kashmiri Calendar in 1982
The Kashmiri Calendar does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 1982, covering Saptarshi Samvat 5057 – 5058. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

What are the main festival dates in the Kashmiri Calendar for 1982?

- Khetsimavas (Kheche Mavas) - Monday, 25 January 1982
- Basant Panchami - Friday, 29 January 1982

- Herath (Maha Shivaratri) - Monday, 22 February 1982
- Holi - Wednesday, 10 March 1982
- Navreh - Friday, 26 March 1982
Which traditional year does 1982 correspond to in the Kashmiri Calendar?
The Gregorian year 1982 spans Saptarshi Samvat 5057 – 5058. 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 1982 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1982 carried an Adhik Maas (Ashwina (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 1982 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1982?
1982 had 7 eclipses:
- 10 January 1982 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 25 January 1982 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 June 1982 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 6 July 1982 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 July 1982 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 15 December 1982 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 30 December 1982 - 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 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1982?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1982:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Tula on 6 October 1982
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 26 November 1982
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 1982?
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 Calendar opens on the current month.
