What happened in the sky in 1948
Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 1948 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 4 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Thaipusam fell on 26 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 1947 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1948
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Telugu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23 Apr 7:08 PM | Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Hanuman Jayanti | Vaisakhamu Pournami | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 9 May 7:55 AM | Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 2 days before Akshaya Tritiya (Akha Teej) | Vaisakhamu Amavasya | Yes - Sutak observed |

| 1 Nov 11:28 AM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 1 day after Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) | Karthikamu Amavasya | Yes - Sutak observed |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 3 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 1948
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 1948?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 270 dates in 1948, of which 220 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Saturday, 3 January 1948, and the last is Ishti on Friday, 31 December 1948.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 1948?
The first major observances of 1948 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1948
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1948
- Thaipusam - Monday, 26 January 1948
- Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 15 February 1948
- Ratha Saptami - Tuesday, 17 February 1948
- Bhishma Ashtami - Wednesday, 18 February 1948
Which month of 1948 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
October 1948 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Masik Shivaratri, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Mahalaya / Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Ishti, Sharad Navratri Begins (Ghatasthapana), Vinayaka Chaturthi, Skanda Shashthi.
Which traditional year does 1948 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1948 spans Shaka Samvat 1869 – 1870. 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 1948 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1948 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 1948?
1948 had 4 eclipses:
- 23 April 1948 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 9 May 1948 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 18 October 1948 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 1 November 1948 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 3 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1948?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1948:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 11 February 1948
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 22 June 1948, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) entered Simha on 26 July 1948
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Dhanu on 8 October 1948
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 1948?
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 Telugu Panchangam opens on the current month.
About the Telugu Panchangam
The Telugu Panchangam (Shalivahana Shaka, Ugadi new year). Each day shows its tithi, nakshatra and festivals, with the Shaka year and the Amanta month.
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.
