Months of the Marathi Calendar in 2034
The Marathi Calendar does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 2034, covering Shaka Samvat 1955 – 1956. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

What the sky brings in 2034
Beyond the dates the Marathi 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. Gudi Padwa (Marathi New Year) falls on 21 March, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2033 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

Which traditional year does 2034 correspond to in the Marathi Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2034 spans Shaka Samvat 1955 – 1956. 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 Marathi Calendar opens on the current month.
