What happened in the sky in 1959
Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 1959 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Vasant Panchami fell on 12 February, 19 days later in the year than in 1958 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 1959
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Telugu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Mar 1:41 AM | Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Holi / Dhuleti / Shimga | Chaithramu Krishna Padyami | Yes - Sutak observed |
| 8 Apr 8:53 AM | Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 1 day before Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri | Chaithramu Amavasya | Not visible |

| 2 Oct 5:56 PM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) on Mahalaya / Sarva Pitru Amavasya | Asvayujamu Amavasya | Yes - Sutak observed |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 2 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 1959
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 1959?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 268 dates in 1959, of which 218 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Friday, 2 January 1959, and the last is Ishti on Wednesday, 30 December 1959.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 1959?
The first major observances of 1959 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1959
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1959
- Thaipusam - Sunday, 25 January 1959
- Vasant Panchami - Thursday, 12 February 1959
- Ratha Saptami - Sunday, 15 February 1959
- Bhishma Ashtami - Monday, 16 February 1959
Which month of 1959 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
October 1959 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Mahalaya / Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Ishti, Sharad Navratri Begins (Ghatasthapana), Vinayaka Chaturthi, Daksha Savarni Manvadi, Ayudha Puja / Saraswati Puja.
Which traditional year does 1959 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1959 spans Shaka Samvat 1880 – 1881. 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 1959 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1959 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 1959?
1959 had 4 eclipses:
- 25 March 1959 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 8 April 1959 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 September 1959 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 2 October 1959 - 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 2 of these were kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1959?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1959:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 22 June 1959, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Vrishchika on 17 August 1959
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 1959?
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.
