Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 1968
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 1968?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 264 dates in 1968, of which 215 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Wednesday, 3 January 1968, and the last is Bhaum Pradosh Vrat on Tuesday, 31 December 1968.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 1968?
The first major observances of 1968 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Thursday, 11 January 1968
- Bhogi / Lohri - Sunday, 14 January 1968
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Monday, 15 January 1968
- Thaipusam - Tuesday, 16 January 1968
- Vasant Panchami - Saturday, 3 February 1968
- Ratha Saptami - Monday, 5 February 1968
Which month of 1968 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
August 1968 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Masik Durgashtami, Varalakshmi Vratham, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti, Raksha Bandhan.
Which traditional year does 1968 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1968 spans Shaka Samvat 1889 – 1890. 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 1968 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1968 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 1968?
1968 had 4 eclipses:
- 29 March 1968 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 13 April 1968 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 22 September 1968 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 6 October 1968 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 1968?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1968:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Mesha on 17 June 1968
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 28 September 1968, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kanya on 12 October 1968
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 1968?
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.
