Timings shown for New Delhi (IST) at sunrise - use the city box at the top to change it. Solar months begin by each tradition's own Sankranti rule (same-day, next-day, sunset or aparahna). Era years and lunar month names follow standard Vedic calculations and may differ slightly from regional almanacs around an Adhik Maas.
Mithila Panchang 2029 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Mithila Panchang lists 27 dates in 2029, opening with Makar Sankranti (Tila Sankranti) on 14 January and closing with Vivah Panchami on 10 December. Of these, 1 are vrats (fasting observances). November is the fullest month with 6 dates. The year runs through La. Sam. 909 – 910. 2029 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several festivals later than usual.

Months of the Mithila Panchang in 2029
The Mithila Panchang does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 2029, covering La. Sam. 909 – 910. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

Makar Sankranti (Tila Sankranti) falls on 14 January, 1 day earlier in the year than in 2028 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

November 2029 is the fullest month with 6 dates, including Dhanteras, Diwali (Sukhraatri), Bhardutiya (Bhai Dooj), Chhath Puja, Gopashtami, Sama Chakeva.
Which traditional year does 2029 correspond to in the Mithila Panchang?
The Gregorian year 2029 spans La. Sam. 909 – 910. 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 Mithila Panchang opens on the current month.
