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.
Punjabi Jantri 1983 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Punjabi Jantri lists 263 dates in 1983, opening with Sakat Chauth on 2 January and closing with Shani Pradosh Vrat on 31 December. Of these, 209 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 26 dates. The year runs through Bikrami Samvat 2039 – 2040. 1983 carries an Adhik Maas (Phalguna (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What happened in the sky in 1983
Beyond the dates the Punjabi Jantri lists, 1983 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carried an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Phalguna, running from 13 February 1983 to 14 March 1983. Vasant Panchami fell on 19 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 1982 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1983
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Punjabi date | Seen from India |

| 20 Dec 7:19 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) | Poh Purnima | Penumbral only |

Frequently asked questions about the Punjabi Jantri 1983
How many festivals and vrats does the Punjabi Jantri list in 1983?
The Punjabi Jantri lists 263 dates in 1983, of which 209 are vrats. The first is Sakat Chauth on Sunday, 2 January 1983, and the last is Shani Pradosh Vrat on Saturday, 31 December 1983.
What are the main festival dates in the Punjabi Jantri for 1983?
The first major observances of 1983 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Thursday, 13 January 1983
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Friday, 14 January 1983
- Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 19 January 1983
- Bhishma Ashtami - Saturday, 22 January 1983
- Maha Shivaratri - Friday, 11 February 1983
- Holika Dahan - Monday, 28 March 1983
Which month of 1983 has the most observances in the Punjabi Jantri?
November 1983 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Rama Ekadashi, Dhanteras, Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Diwali (Lakshmi Puja), Narak Chaturdashi (Abhyang Snan), Govardhan Puja / Annakut.
Which traditional year does 1983 correspond to in the Punjabi Jantri?
The Gregorian year 1983 spans Bikrami Samvat 2039 – 2040. 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 1983 have an Adhik Maas?
Yes. 1983 carried an Adhik Maas (Phalguna (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 1983 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Were there any eclipses in 1983?
1983 had 4 eclipses:
- 11 June 1983 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 25 June 1983 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 4 December 1983 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 20 December 1983 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
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 1983?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1983:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 22 December 1983
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 1983?
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 Punjabi Jantri opens on the current month.
