Frequently asked questions about the Malayalam Panchangam 1989
How many festivals and vrats does the Malayalam Panchangam list in 1989?
The Malayalam Panchangam lists 274 dates in 1989, of which 222 are vrats. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Tuesday, 3 January 1989, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Sunday, 31 December 1989.
What are the main festival dates in the Malayalam Panchangam for 1989?
The first major observances of 1989 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 13 January 1989
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 14 January 1989
- Thaipusam - Sunday, 22 January 1989
- Vasant Panchami - Friday, 10 February 1989
- Ratha Saptami - Sunday, 12 February 1989
- Bhishma Ashtami - Monday, 13 February 1989
Which month of 1989 has the most observances in the Malayalam Panchangam?
August 1989 is the fullest month with 28 dates, including Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Karkidaka Vavu Bali, Ishti, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Nag Panchami, Skanda Shashthi.
Which traditional year does 1989 correspond to in the Malayalam Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1989 spans Kollam Era 1164 – 1165. 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 1989 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1989 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 1989?
1989 had 4 eclipses:
- 20 February 1989 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 7 March 1989 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 August 1989 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 31 August 1989 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 1989?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1989:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 2 July 1989
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 1989?
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.

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.
