Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 1970
How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 1970?
The Malayalam Panchangam lists 273 dates in 1970, of which 221 are vrats. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Sunday, 4 January 1970, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Thursday, 31 December 1970.
What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 1970?
The first major observances of 1970 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1970
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1970
- Thaipusam - Friday, 23 January 1970
- Vasant Panchami - Tuesday, 10 February 1970
- Ratha Saptami - Thursday, 12 February 1970
- Bhishma Ashtami - Friday, 13 February 1970
Which month of 1970 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?
August 1970 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Amavasya, Ishti, Karkidaka Vavu Bali, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Nag Panchami, Skanda Shashthi.
Which traditional year does 1970 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1970 spans Kollam Era 1145 – 1146. 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 1970 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1970 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 1970?
1970 had 4 eclipses:
- 21 February 1970 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 March 1970 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 August 1970 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 1 September 1970 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
None of them carried Sutak Kaal in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1970?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1970:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 11 December 1970
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 1970?
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 Malayalam Panchangam - Kolla Varsham opens on the current month.
