Frequently asked questions about the Annual Vrat Calendar 2025
How many festivals and vrats does the Annual Vrat Calendar list in 2025?
The Annual Vrat Calendar lists 206 dates in 2025, of which 162 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Friday, 3 January 2025, and the last is Vaikunta Ekadashi on Tuesday, 30 December 2025.
What are the main festival dates in the Annual Vrat Calendar for 2025?
The first major observances of 2025 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Friday, 10 January 2025
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 14 January 2025
- Vasant Panchami - Sunday, 2 February 2025
- Maha Shivaratri - Wednesday, 26 February 2025
- Holika Dahan - Thursday, 13 March 2025
- Sheetala Ashtami (Basoda) - Saturday, 22 March 2025
Which month of 2025 has the most observances in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
August 2025 is the fullest month with 22 dates, including Masik Durgashtami, Shravana Putrada Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Shravana Purnima Vrat, Varalakshmi Vratham, Raksha Bandhan, Kajari Teej (Badi / Satudi Teej), Sankashti Chaturthi.
Which traditional year does 2025 correspond to in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2025 spans Vikram Samvat 2081 – 2082. 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 2025 have an Adhik Maas?
No. 2025 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 2025?
2025 had 4 eclipses:
- 14 March 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 29 March 2025 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 September 2025 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal was observed
- 22 September 2025 - Partial 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 2025?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2025:
- Shani (Saturn) entered Meena on 29 March 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 14 May 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Karka on 18 October 2025
- Guru (Jupiter) entered Mithuna on 5 December 2025, 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 2025?
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 Annual Vrat Calendar opens on the current month.
About the Annual Vrat Calendar
The full year of Hindu vrats as a month grid. Each day shows its tithi and any fasting observance falling on it - every Ekadashi, Pradosh, Sankashti and Vinayaka Chaturthi, Masik Shivaratri, Purnima and Amavasya vrat, alongside Navratri, Rama Navami, Maha Shivratri, the Teej vrats, Janmashtami, Karwa Chauth, Ganesh Chaturthi, Diwali, Chhath and Holika Dahan - on its actual date for the chosen year.
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.
