What are the main festival dates in the Dashavatara Calendar for 2035?

- Narasimha Jayanti - Sunday, 20 May 2035
- Kurma Jayanti - Monday, 21 May 2035
- Kalki Jayanti - Thursday, 9 August 2035
Which traditional year does 2035 correspond to in the Dashavatara Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2035 spans Vikram Samvat 2091 – 2092. 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 2035?
No. 2035 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 2035?
2035 has 4 eclipses:
- 22 February 2035 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 March 2035 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 August 2035 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 2 September 2035 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
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 2035?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2035:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Mesha on 6 April 2035
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.
Are these 2035 dates the same everywhere?
The dates follow the standard Indian sunrise-based calendar. Because a tithi begins and ends at a fixed moment rather than at midnight, an observance can fall a day earlier or later where sunrise differs - most noticeably outside India. Set your city in the box at the top to see the start and end times in your own local time, and check the daily Panchang for the exact window on the day.

Each entry lists the festival or vrat with its date, the prevailing tithi, and a short note on the observance. Use the year links to plan ahead into the coming years or to look up a date from the archive.
This list is the festival dates, not the daily five limbs. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and the day's yoga, open the Panchang. Other calendars are on the Calendars index. The story of a fast is under Vrat Katha.
