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.
The Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists 27 dates in 2034, from Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on 1 January through Vaikunta Ekadashi on 21 December. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2090 – 2091. 2034 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several dates later than usual.

What the sky brings in 2034
Beyond the dates the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists, 2034 brings 4 eclipses - 2 solar and 2 lunar - of which 3 are above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashadha, running from 17 June 2034 to 15 July 2034. Pausha Putrada Ekadashi falls on 1 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2033 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Frequently asked questions about the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar 2034
How many festivals and vrats does the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar list in 2034?
The Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists 27 dates in 2034. The first is Pausha Putrada Ekadashi on Sunday, 1 January 2034, and the last is Vaikunta Ekadashi on Thursday, 21 December 2034.
What are the main festival dates in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar for 2034?
The first major observances of 2034 are:
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi - Sunday, 1 January 2034
- Vaikunta Ekadashi - Sunday, 1 January 2034
- Shattila Ekadashi - Monday, 16 January 2034
- Jaya Ekadashi - Monday, 30 January 2034
- Vijaya Ekadashi - Wednesday, 15 February 2034
- Amalaki Ekadashi - Tuesday, 28 February 2034
Which traditional year does 2034 correspond to in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2034 spans Vikram Samvat 2090 – 2091. 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 2034?
Yes. 2034 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month inserted roughly every third year to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar one. Festivals falling after it shift later in the Gregorian year, which is why 2034 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2034?
2034 has 4 eclipses:
- 20 March 2034 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 4 April 2034 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
- 12 September 2034 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 28 September 2034 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 2034?
Yes - 2 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2034:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Meena on 28 March 2034
- Shani (Saturn) enters Karka on 13 July 2034
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 2034 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.
