Jain New Year (Vira Nirvana Samvat) falls on 27 October, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2029 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

The Jain New Year (Vira Nirvana Samvat) begins the next morning, Sunday, 27 October 2030.

What are the main festival dates in the Jain Panchang for 2030?

The main observances in 2030 are:

  • Mahavir Jayanti - Tuesday, 16 April 2030
  • Paryushan - Sunday, 25 August 2030
  • Samvatsari - Sunday, 1 September 2030
  • Mahavir Nirvana - Saturday, 26 October 2030
Which month of 2030 has the most observances in the Jain Panchang?

October 2030 is the fullest month with 7 dates, including Ashwina Navapada Oli Begins, Ashwina Navapada Oli Ends, Rohini Vrat, Mahavir Nirvana (Diwali), Jain New Year (Vira Nirvana Samvat), Bhai Dooj (Bhratri Dwitiya), Jnan Panchami (Labh Panchami).

Which traditional year does 2030 correspond to in the Jain Panchang?

The Gregorian year 2030 spans Vira Nirvana Samvat 2555 – 2556. 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.

How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2030?

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 Jain Panchang opens on the current month.
