Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar 2029
A month-by-month list of every Purnima (full moon) and Amavasya (new moon) of the year, named by its lunar month, with the festivity kept on it - from Holi, Buddha Purnima, Guru Purnima and Sharad Purnima to Mauni Amavasya, Mahalaya and Diwali - and the tithi start and end timing of each.
The Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar lists 24 dates in 2029, from Magha Amavasya (Mauni Amavasya) on 14 January through Margashirsha Purnima (Datta Jayanti) on 20 December. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2085 – 2086. 2029 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several dates later than usual.

What are the main festival dates in the Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar for 2029?

- Magha Amavasya (Mauni Amavasya) - Sunday, 14 January 2029

- Vaishakha Purnima (Buddha Purnima) - Sunday, 27 May 2029
- Jyeshtha Amavasya (Shani Jayanti) - Tuesday, 12 June 2029
Which traditional year does 2029 correspond to in the Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2029 spans Vikram Samvat 2085 – 2086. 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.
Are these 2029 dates the same everywhere?
The dates follow the standard Indian sunrise-based calendar. Because a tithi begins and ends at a fixed moment rather than at midnight, an observance can fall a day earlier or later where sunrise differs - most noticeably outside India. Set your city in the box at the top to see the start and end times in your own local time, and check the daily Panchang for the exact window on the day.
