Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Annual Vrat Calendar 2029 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Annual Vrat Calendar lists 201 dates in 2029, opening with Sakat Chauth on 3 January and closing with Saphala Ekadashi on 31 December. Of these, 158 are vrats (fasting observances). August is the fullest month with 19 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2085 – 2086. 2029 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What the sky brings in 2029
Beyond the dates the Annual Vrat Calendar lists, 2029 brings 6 eclipses - 4 solar and 2 lunar - of which 1 is above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Chaitra, running from 16 March 2029 to 13 April 2029. Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri falls on 14 April, 17 days later in the year than in 2028 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Annual Vrat Calendar 2029
How many festivals and vrats does the Annual Vrat Calendar list in 2029?
The Annual Vrat Calendar lists 201 dates in 2029, of which 158 are vrats. The first is Sakat Chauth on Wednesday, 3 January 2029, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Monday, 31 December 2029.
What are the main festival dates in the Annual Vrat Calendar for 2029?
The first major observances of 2029 are:
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Sunday, 14 January 2029
- Vasant Panchami - Friday, 19 January 2029
- Maha Shivaratri - Sunday, 11 February 2029
- Holika Dahan - Wednesday, 28 February 2029
- Sheetala Ashtami (Basoda) - Wednesday, 7 March 2029
- Pana Sankranti (Maha Vishuba) - Saturday, 14 April 2029
Which month of 2029 has the most observances in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
August 2029 is the fullest month with 19 dates, including Kalashtami, Kamika Ekadashi, Bhaum Pradosh Vrat, Masik Shivaratri, Darsha Amavasya, Amavasya, Hariyali Teej (Chhoti Teej), Vinayaka Chaturthi.
Which traditional year does 2029 correspond to in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2029 spans Vikram Samvat 2085 – 2086. 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.
Will there be an Adhik Maas in 2029?
Yes. 2029 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (Adhik)), the extra lunar month inserted roughly every third year to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar one. Festivals falling after it shift later in the Gregorian year, which is why 2029 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2029?
2029 has 6 eclipses:
- 14 January 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 12 June 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 June 2029 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 11 July 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 December 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 December 2029 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 1 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2029?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2029:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kanya on 29 March 2029, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha on 8 August 2029
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 25 August 2029
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mesha on 5 October 2029, 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 2029?
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.
