How many festivals and vrats does the Eclipse - Grahan Calendar list in 2033?
The Eclipse - Grahan Calendar lists 4 dates in 2033. The first is Total Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) on Wednesday, 30 March 2033, and the last is Total Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) on Saturday, 8 October 2033.
What are the main festival dates in the Eclipse - Grahan Calendar for 2033?

- Total Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) - Wednesday, 30 March 2033
- Total Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan) - Friday, 15 April 2033
- Partial Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) - Friday, 23 September 2033
Which traditional year does 2033 correspond to in the Eclipse - Grahan Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2033 spans Vikram Samvat 2089 – 2090. 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 2033?
No. 2033 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 Guru or Shani change sign in 2033?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2033:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kumbha on 18 March 2033
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 2033 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.
About the Eclipse - Grahan Calendar
A list of every solar (Surya Grahan) and lunar (Chandra Grahan) eclipse of the year - each with its type, whether it is visible in India, the grahan start and end times (shown in your local time) and the Sutak Kaal where it is observed. A penumbral (upachhaya) lunar eclipse is generally not kept as a grahan.
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.
