Beyond the dates the Indian Calendar lists, 2029 brings 6 eclipses - 4 solar and 2 lunar - of which 1 is above the horizon somewhere in India. The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Chaitra, running from 16 March 2029 to 13 April 2029. Bhogi / Lohri falls on 13 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 2028 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Which month of 2029 has the most observances in the Indian Calendar?
April 2029 is the fullest month with 15 dates, including Easter, Ambedkar Jayanti, Bohag Bihu (Rongali Bihu), Navreh, Pana Sankranti (Maha Vishuba), Puthandu (Tamil New Year), Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri, Vaisakhi.
Which traditional year does 2029 correspond to in the Indian Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2029 spans Shaka Samvat 1950 – 1951. 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 2029?
Yes. 2029 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (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 2029 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2029?
2029 has 6 eclipses:
- 14 January 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 12 June 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 June 2029 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 11 July 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 December 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 December 2029 - Total 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 1 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2029?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2029:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kanya on 29 March 2029, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha on 8 August 2029
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 25 August 2029
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mesha on 5 October 2029, moving retrograde
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.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2029?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Indian Calendar opens on the current month.
