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 2031 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Annual Vrat Calendar lists 204 dates in 2031, opening with Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on 4 January and closing with Margashirsha Purnima Vrat on 28 December. Of these, 160 are vrats (fasting observances). July is the fullest month with 21 dates. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2087 – 2088. 2031 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

What the sky brings in 2031
Beyond the dates the Annual Vrat Calendar lists, 2031 brings 5 eclipses - 2 solar and 3 lunar - of which 2 are above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Bhadrapada, running from 19 August 2031 to 16 September 2031. Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri falls on 24 March, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2030 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.
Eclipses of 2031
| Date (IST) | Eclipse | Hindu date | Seen from India |

Sutak Kaal is observed for 1 of these. A penumbral (Upachhaya) eclipse is not counted as a grahan.
Guru and Shani in 2031
| Date | Graha | Sign change |

| 14 Jun 3:30 AM | Guru (Jupiter) | Dhanu → Vrishchika re-entry while retrograde |
| 15 Oct 4:20 PM | Guru (Jupiter) | Vrishchika → Dhanu |
Jupiter takes about a year to cross a sign, Saturn about two and a half. Rahu enters Tula on 31 July 2031, carrying the eclipse axis with it.
Frequently asked questions about the Annual Vrat Calendar 2031
How many festivals and vrats does the Annual Vrat Calendar list in 2031?
The Annual Vrat Calendar lists 204 dates in 2031, of which 160 are vrats. The first is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on Saturday, 4 January 2031, and the last is Margashirsha Purnima Vrat on Sunday, 28 December 2031.
What are the main festival dates in the Annual Vrat Calendar for 2031?
The first major observances of 2031 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Saturday, 4 January 2031
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Wednesday, 15 January 2031
- Vasant Panchami - Monday, 27 January 2031
- Maha Shivaratri - Thursday, 20 February 2031
- Holika Dahan - Saturday, 8 March 2031
- Sheetala Ashtami (Basoda) - Sunday, 16 March 2031
Which month of 2031 has the most observances in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
July 2031 is the fullest month with 21 dates, including Devshayani (Ashadhi) Ekadashi, Gauri Vrat (Morakat) Begins, Pradosh Vrat, Jaya Parvati Vrat Begins, Ashadha Purnima Vrat, Guru Purnima, Sankashti Chaturthi, Kalashtami.
Which traditional year does 2031 correspond to in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2031 spans Vikram Samvat 2087 – 2088. 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 2031?
Yes. 2031 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (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 2031 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2031?
2031 has 5 eclipses:
- 7 May 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 May 2031 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 5 June 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
- 30 October 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 15 November 2031 - 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 will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2031?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2031:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 17 February 2031
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 14 June 2031, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 15 October 2031
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 2031?
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.
