Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar 2034
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 25 dates in 2034, from Pausha Purnima on 4 January through Margashirsha Purnima (Datta Jayanti) on 25 December. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2090 – 2091. 2034 carries an Adhik Maas (Ashadha (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several dates later than usual.

The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Ashadha, running from 17 June 2034 to 15 July 2034. Magha Amavasya (Mauni Amavasya) falls on 20 January, 10 days earlier in the year than in 2033 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

What are the main festival dates in the Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar for 2034?

- Vaishakha Purnima (Buddha Purnima) - Wednesday, 3 May 2034
- Jyeshtha Amavasya (Shani Jayanti) - Thursday, 18 May 2034
Which traditional year does 2034 correspond to in the Amavasya - Purnima Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2034 spans Vikram Samvat 2090 – 2091. 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.
Are these 2034 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.
