Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 1978
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 1978?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 267 dates in 1978, of which 220 are vrats. The first is Kalashtami on Monday, 2 January 1978, and the last is Ishti on Saturday, 30 December 1978.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 1978?
The first major observances of 1978 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 13 January 1978
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 14 January 1978
- Thaipusam - Tuesday, 24 January 1978
- Vasant Panchami - Saturday, 11 February 1978
- Ratha Saptami - Tuesday, 14 February 1978
- Bhishma Ashtami - Wednesday, 15 February 1978
Which month of 1978 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
October 1978 is the fullest month with 27 dates, including Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Mahalaya / Sarva Pitru Amavasya, Amavasya, Ishti, Sharad Navratri Begins (Ghatasthapana), Vinayaka Chaturthi, Daksha Savarni Manvadi.
Which traditional year does 1978 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1978 spans Shaka Samvat 1899 – 1900. 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 1978 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1978 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 1978?
1978 had 4 eclipses:
- 24 March 1978 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 7 April 1978 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 September 1978 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 2 October 1978 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 1978?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1978:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 5 August 1978
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 1978?
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.
