What happened in the sky in 2017
Beyond the dates the Telugu Panchangam lists, 2017 brought 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 2 were above the horizon somewhere in India. Bhogi / Lohri fell on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 2016 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 2017
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Telugu date | Seen from India |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 Feb 6:13 AM | Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) 1 day after Thaipusam | Maghamu Krishna Padyami | Penumbral only |
| 26 Feb 8:23 PM | Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) 2 days after Maha Shivaratri | Phalgunamu Amavasya | Not visible |

| 21 Aug 11:55 PM | Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan) | Bhadhrapadamu Amavasya | Not visible |
Sutak Kaal was observed for 1 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 2017
| Date | Graha | Sign change |

Frequently asked questions about the Telugu Panchangam 2017
How many festivals and vrats does the Telugu Panchangam list in 2017?
The Telugu Panchangam lists 271 dates in 2017, of which 219 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Monday, 2 January 2017, and the last is Shani Pradosh Vrat on Saturday, 30 December 2017.
What are the main festival dates in the Telugu Panchangam for 2017?
The first major observances of 2017 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Sunday, 8 January 2017
- Bhogi / Lohri - Friday, 13 January 2017
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Saturday, 14 January 2017
- Vasant Panchami - Wednesday, 1 February 2017
- Ratha Saptami - Friday, 3 February 2017
- Bhishma Ashtami - Saturday, 4 February 2017
Which month of 2017 has the most observances in the Telugu Panchangam?
August 2017 is the fullest month with 25 dates, including Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Anvadhan, Avani Avittam (Upakarma), Gayatri Jayanti, Raksha Bandhan, Shravana Purnima Vrat.
Which traditional year does 2017 correspond to in the Telugu Panchangam?
The Gregorian year 2017 spans Shaka Samvat 1938 – 1939. 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 2017 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2017 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 2017?
2017 had 4 eclipses:
- 11 February 2017 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak was observed
- 26 February 2017 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 August 2017 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 21 August 2017 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 2017?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2017:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Dhanu on 26 January 2017
- Shani (Saturn) entered Vrishchika on 21 June 2017, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Tula on 12 September 2017
- Shani (Saturn) entered Dhanu on 26 October 2017
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 2017?
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.
