| Malayalam Month | Gregorian (1997) | Solar Transit (Sankramanam) | |----------------|------------------|-----------------------------| | Chingam | Aug 17 – Sep 16 | Simham (Leo) | | Kanni | Sep 17 – Oct 16 | Kanya (Virgo) | | Thulam | Oct 17 – Nov 15 | Thula (Libra) | | Vrishchikam | Nov 16 – Dec 15 | Vrishchika (Scorpio) | | Dhanu | Dec 16 – Jan 13*| Dhanus (Sagittarius) | 1997 malayalam calendar with nakshatra
For those born in 1997, finding their Janma Nakshatra in that year’s calendar is still a rite of passage.

The Moon travels through one of the 27 Nakshatras each day (approx. 13°20′ of the ecliptic). For Keralites, a person’s Janma Nakshatra (birth star) determines not just their name’s starting letter, but also auspicious timings for weddings ( muhurtham ), housewarmings ( gruhapravesham ), and even agricultural planting.
