Frequently asked questions about the Annual Vrat Calendar 2036
How many festivals and vrats does the Annual Vrat Calendar list in 2036?
The Annual Vrat Calendar lists 209 dates in 2036, of which 165 are vrats. The first is Vinayaka Chaturthi on Wednesday, 2 January 2036, and the last is Bhaum Pradosh Vrat on Tuesday, 30 December 2036.
What are the main festival dates in the Annual Vrat Calendar for 2036?
The first major observances of 2036 are:
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Wednesday, 9 January 2036
- Makar Sankranti / Uttarayan / Pongal - Tuesday, 15 January 2036
- Vasant Panchami - Saturday, 2 February 2036
- Maha Shivaratri - Monday, 25 February 2036
- Holika Dahan - Tuesday, 11 March 2036
- Sheetala Ashtami (Basoda) - Wednesday, 19 March 2036
Which month of 2036 has the most observances in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
October 2036 is the fullest month with 24 dates, including Papankusha Ekadashi, Pradosh Vrat, Ashwina Purnima Vrat, Kojagari Lakshmi Puja, Karva Chauth, Ahoi Ashtami, Kalashtami, Rama Ekadashi.
Which traditional year does 2036 correspond to in the Annual Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2036 spans Vikram Samvat 2092 – 2093. 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 2036?
No. 2036 has 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.
Will there be any eclipses in 2036?
2036 has 5 eclipses:
- 12 February 2036 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 27 February 2036 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 23 July 2036 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 7 August 2036 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 21 August 2036 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
Sutak Kaal is observed only for an eclipse actually visible where you are, so 2 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2036?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2036:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishabha on 15 April 2036
- Shani (Saturn) enters Simha on 27 August 2036
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Mithuna on 10 September 2036
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishabha on 17 November 2036, 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 2036?
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.
