Pradosh - Trayodashi Vrat Calendar 2033
A month-by-month list of every Pradosh Vrat of the year - the Shiva fast kept in the twilight hour (pradosh kaal) of each Trayodashi (the thirteenth tithi), in both the bright and dark fortnights. The weekday gives each its character - Soma (Monday), Bhauma (Tuesday) and Shani (Saturday) Pradosh are especially sought after - with the paksha and tithi timing of each.
The Pradosh Vrat Calendar lists 23 dates in 2033, from Pradosh Vrat on 12 January through Som Pradosh Vrat on 19 December. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2089 – 2090.

Frequently asked questions about the Pradosh Vrat Calendar 2033
How many festivals and vrats does the Pradosh Vrat Calendar list in 2033?
The Pradosh Vrat Calendar lists 23 dates in 2033, of which 23 are vrats. The first is Pradosh Vrat on Wednesday, 12 January 2033, and the last is Som Pradosh Vrat on Monday, 19 December 2033.
Which traditional year does 2033 correspond to in the Pradosh Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2033 spans Vikram Samvat 2089 – 2090. 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 2033?
No. 2033 has twelve lunar months with no Adhik Maas, so its festival dates fall in their usual Gregorian window rather than being pushed later by an intercalary month.
Will there be any eclipses in 2033?
2033 has 4 eclipses:
- 30 March 2033 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 15 April 2033 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 23 September 2033 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 8 October 2033 - 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 2 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2033?
Yes - 1 sign change among the slow grahas in 2033:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kumbha on 18 March 2033
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 2033 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.
About the Pradosh - Trayodashi Vrat Calendar
A month-by-month list of every Pradosh Vrat of the year - the Shiva fast kept in the twilight hour (pradosh kaal) of each Trayodashi (the thirteenth tithi), in both the bright and dark fortnights. The weekday gives each its character - Soma (Monday), Bhauma (Tuesday) and Shani (Saturday) Pradosh are especially sought after - with the paksha and tithi timing of each.
Each entry lists the festival or vrat with its date, the prevailing tithi, and a short note on the observance. Use the year links to plan ahead into the coming years or to look up a date from the archive.
This list is the festival dates, not the daily five limbs. For sunrise, Rahu Kalam and the day's yoga, open the Panchang. Other calendars are on the Calendars index. The story of a fast is under Vrat Katha.
