Frequently asked questions about the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar 2030
How many festivals and vrats does the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar list in 2030?
The Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists 23 dates in 2030. The first is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on Tuesday, 15 January 2030, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Saturday, 21 December 2030.
What are the main festival dates in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar for 2030?
The first major observances of 2030 are:
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi - Tuesday, 15 January 2030
- Shattila Ekadashi - Tuesday, 29 January 2030
- Jaya Ekadashi - Thursday, 14 February 2030
- Vijaya Ekadashi - Thursday, 28 February 2030
- Amalaki Ekadashi - Friday, 15 March 2030
- Papamochani Ekadashi - Friday, 29 March 2030
Which traditional year does 2030 correspond to in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2030 spans Vikram Samvat 2086 – 2087. 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 2030?
No. 2030 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 2030?
2030 has 4 eclipses:
- 1 June 2030 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 16 June 2030 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 25 November 2030 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 10 December 2030 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak 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 2030?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2030:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 25 January 2030
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha on 17 April 2030
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 1 May 2030, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 23 September 2030
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 2030 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 Ekadashi Vrat Calendar
A month-by-month list of every Ekadashi of the year - the eleventh-tithi fasting days sacred to Lord Vishnu - including Nirjala, Devshayani, Prabodhini (Dev Uthani), Mokshada / Vaikuntha, Putrada and Saphala, with the name, paksha, lunar month and tithi timing of each.
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.
