Frequently asked questions about the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar 2032
How many festivals and vrats does the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar list in 2032?
The Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists 25 dates in 2032. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Friday, 9 January 2032, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Tuesday, 28 December 2032.
What are the main festival dates in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar for 2032?
The first major observances of 2032 are:
- Saphala Ekadashi - Friday, 9 January 2032
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi - Friday, 23 January 2032
- Shattila Ekadashi - Saturday, 7 February 2032
- Jaya Ekadashi - Saturday, 21 February 2032
- Vijaya Ekadashi - Monday, 8 March 2032
- Amalaki Ekadashi - Monday, 22 March 2032
Which traditional year does 2032 correspond to in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2032 spans Vikram Samvat 2088 – 2089. 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 2032?
No. 2032 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 2032?
2032 has 4 eclipses:
- 25 April 2032 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 9 May 2032 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 19 October 2032 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 3 November 2032 - Partial 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 3 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2032?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2032:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Makara on 5 March 2032
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mithuna on 31 May 2032
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 12 August 2032, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Makara on 23 October 2032
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 2032 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.
