Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 1998
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 1998?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 270 dates in 1998, of which 218 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Friday, 2 January 1998, and the last is Pradosh Vrat on Wednesday, 30 December 1998.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 1998?
The first major observances of 1998 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Thursday, 8 January 1998
- Bhogi / Lohri - Tuesday, 13 January 1998
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 14 January 1998
- Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 1 February 1998
- Ratha Saptami - Tuesday, 3 February 1998
- Bhishma Ashtami - Wednesday, 4 February 1998
Which month of 1998 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
August 1998 is the fullest month with 26 dates, including Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Anvadhan, Shravana Purnima Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti, Ishti.
Which traditional year does 1998 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 1998 spans Shaka Samvat 1919 – 1920. 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 1998 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 1998 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 1998?
1998 had 5 eclipses:
- 26 February 1998 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 13 March 1998 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 8 August 1998 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 22 August 1998 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 6 September 1998 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak 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 1998?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 1998:
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 8 January 1998
- Shani (Saturn) entered Mesha on 17 April 1998
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Meena on 26 May 1998
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Kumbha on 10 September 1998, moving retrograde
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 1998?
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.
