Months of the Mithila Panchang in 1993
The Mithila Panchang does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 1993, covering La. Sam. 873 – 874. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

- Saraswati Puja (Vasant Panchami) - Wednesday, 27 January 1993

Which month of 1993 has the most observances in the Mithila Panchang?
November 1993 is the fullest month with 6 dates, including Dhanteras, Diwali (Sukhraatri), Bhardutiya (Bhai Dooj), Chhath Puja, Gopashtami, Sama Chakeva.
Which traditional year does 1993 correspond to in the Mithila Panchang?
The Gregorian year 1993 spans La. Sam. 873 – 874. 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 1993 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1993 carried an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (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 1993 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1993?
1993 had 4 eclipses:
- 21 May 1993 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 4 June 1993 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 14 November 1993 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 November 1993 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 1993?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1993:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 5 March 1993
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 12 October 1993
- Shani (Saturn) entered Makara on 15 October 1993, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Kumbha on 10 November 1993
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 1993?
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 Mithila Panchang opens on the current month.
