Beyond the dates the Jain Panchang 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. Jain New Year (Vira Nirvana Samvat) falls on 11 November, 18 days later in the year than in 2033 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

  • Mahavir Jayanti - Saturday, 1 April 2034
  • Paryushan - Saturday, 9 September 2034
  • Samvatsari - Saturday, 16 September 2034
  • Mahavir Nirvana - Friday, 10 November 2034
Which month of 2034 has the most observances in the Jain Panchang?

November 2034 is the fullest month with 9 dates, including Mahavir Nirvana (Diwali), Jain New Year (Vira Nirvana Samvat), Bhai Dooj (Bhratri Dwitiya), Jnan Panchami (Labh Panchami), Kartika Ashtahnika Begins, Kartika Ashtahnika Ends, Kartika Chaumasi Chaudas, Kartika Ratha Yatra.

Which traditional year does 2034 correspond to in the Jain Panchang?

The Gregorian year 2034 spans Vira Nirvana Samvat 2559 – 2560. 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.

How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2034?

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.

About the Jain Panchang

The Jain Panchang (Vira Nirvana Samvat). Each day shows its tithi and nakshatra, with the Jain festivals and fasting (upvas) days - Paryushan, Samvatsari, the Rohini Vrats, Ashtahnika and Navpad Oli.

Each day lists its tithi and paksha, the nakshatra, the weekday (vaar) and any festivals or vrats. Tap any day to see the full panchang for that date - tithi start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Use the month and year selectors to browse any year in the archive or plan ahead into the coming years.

This calendar names the tithi and festivals for each day. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and muhurat windows on a chosen date, open the Panchang. Other regional calendars are on the Calendars index. Fast stories live under Vrat Katha.
