Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 1979

How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 1979?

The Malayalam Panchangam lists 271 dates in 1979, of which 217 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Tuesday, 2 January 1979, and the last is Pradosh Vrat on Sunday, 30 December 1979.

What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 1979?

The first major observances of 1979 are:

  • Vaikunta Ekadashi - Monday, 8 January 1979
  • Bhogi / Lohri - Saturday, 13 January 1979
  • Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 1979
  • Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 1 February 1979
  • Ratha Saptami - Saturday, 3 February 1979
  • Bhishma Ashtami - Sunday, 4 February 1979
Which month of 1979 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?

August 1979 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Masik Durgashtami, Varalakshmi Vratham, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Shravana Purnima Vrat, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti.

Which traditional year does 1979 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?

The Gregorian year 1979 spans Kollam Era 1154 – 1155. 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 1979 have an Adhik Maas?

No. 1979 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 1979?

1979 had 4 eclipses:

  • 26 February 1979 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 14 March 1979 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
  • 22 August 1979 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
  • 6 September 1979 - 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 2 of these were kept in India.

Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1979?

Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1979:

  • Guru (Jupiter) entered Simha on 29 August 1979
  • Shani (Saturn) entered Kanya on 4 November 1979

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 1979?

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.
