Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 1981
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 1981?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 270 dates in 1981, of which 221 are vrats. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Friday, 2 January 1981, and the last is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Wednesday, 30 December 1981.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 1981?
The first major observances of 1981 are:
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1981
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1981
- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 9 February 1981
- Ratha Saptami - Wednesday, 11 February 1981
- Bhishma Ashtami - Thursday, 12 February 1981
- Maha Shivaratri - Wednesday, 4 March 1981
Which month of 1981 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
July 1981 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Amavasya, Anvadhan, Darsha Amavasya, Ishti, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Skanda Shashthi, Masik Durgashtami, Raivata Manvadi.
Which traditional year does 1981 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1981 spans Shaka Samvat 1902 – 1903. 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 1981 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1981 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 1981?
1981 had 4 eclipses:
- 20 January 1981 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 February 1981 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 17 July 1981 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 31 July 1981 - 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 1 of these was kept in India.
Did Guru or Shani change sign in 1981?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 1981:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 27 October 1981
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 1981?
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.
