Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Calendar 2034
A month-by-month list of every Sankashti Chaturthi of the year - the dark-fortnight (Krishna) Chaturthi fast of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles (sankat), broken only after the moon is sighted at night. It includes the powerful Angaraki Chaturthi (when it falls on a Tuesday) and the Magha Sakat Chauth, with the lunar month and tithi timing of each.
The Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Calendar lists 12 dates in 2034, from Sakat Chauth on 8 January through Sankashti Chaturthi on 28 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.

What the sky brings in 2034
Beyond the dates the Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat 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.

Frequently asked questions about the Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Calendar 2034
How many festivals and vrats does the Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Calendar list in 2034?
The Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Calendar lists 12 dates in 2034, of which 12 are vrats. The first is Sakat Chauth on Sunday, 8 January 2034, and the last is Sankashti Chaturthi on Thursday, 28 December 2034.
Which traditional year does 2034 correspond to in the Sankashti Chaturthi 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.
About the Sankashti Chaturthi Vrat Calendar
A month-by-month list of every Sankashti Chaturthi of the year - the dark-fortnight (Krishna) Chaturthi fast of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles (sankat), broken only after the moon is sighted at night. It includes the powerful Angaraki Chaturthi (when it falls on a Tuesday) and the Magha Sakat Chauth, with the lunar month 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.
