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.

Malayalam Panchangam 1977 - festivals and vrats through the year

The Malayalam Panchangam lists 271 dates in 1977, opening with Dharma Savarni Manvadi on 1 January and closing with Sankashti Chaturthi on 29 December. Of these, 219 are vrats (fasting observances). January is the fullest month with 25 dates. The year runs through Kollam Era 1152 – 1153. 1977 carries an Adhik Maas (Shravana (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1977

Beyond the dates the Malayalam Panchangam lists, 1977 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 1 was above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Shravana, running from 17 July 1977 to 14 August 1977. Vaikunta Ekadashi fell on 1 January, 12 days earlier in the year than in 1976 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 1977

How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 1977?

The Malayalam Panchangam lists 271 dates in 1977, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Dharma Savarni Manvadi on Saturday, 1 January 1977, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Thursday, 29 December 1977.

What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 1977?

The first major observances of 1977 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 1 January 1977
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Thursday, 13 January 1977
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Friday, 14 January 1977
  • Vasant Panchami - Monday, 24 January 1977
  • Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 26 January 1977
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Thursday, 27 January 1977
Which month of 1977 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?

January 1977 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Dharma Savarni Manvadi, Pausha Putrada Ekadashi, Vaikunta Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Pausha Purnima Vrat, Anvadhan, Pausha Purnima, Ishti.

Which traditional year does 1977 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?

The Gregorian year 1977 spans Kollam Era 1152 – 1153. 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 1977 have an Adhik Maas?

Yes. 1977 carried an Adhik Maas (Shravana (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 1977 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.

Were there any eclipses in 1977?

1977 had 4 eclipses:

  • 4 April 1977 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 18 April 1977 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 27 September 1977 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
  • 13 October 1977 - Total 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 1977?

Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1977:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishabha on 22 February 1977
  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 18 July 1977
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 7 September 1977

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 1977?

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.

About the Malayalam Panchangam - Kolla Varsham

The Malayalam Panchangam (Kolla Varsham). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Malayalam solar month and the Kollam Era year.

Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.

This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
