Frequently asked questions about the Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar 2028
How many festivals and vrats does the Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar list in 2028?
The Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar lists 13 dates in 2028, of which 13 are vrats. The first is Pausha Purnima — Satyanarayan Vrat on Wednesday, 12 January 2028, and the last is Pausha Purnima — Satyanarayan Vrat on Sunday, 31 December 2028.
Which traditional year does 2028 correspond to in the Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2028 spans Vikram Samvat 2084 – 2085. 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 2028?
No. 2028 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 2028?
2028 has 5 eclipses:
- 12 January 2028 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 January 2028 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 6 July 2028 - Partial lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 22 July 2028 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 31 December 2028 - 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 3 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2028?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2028:
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mesha on 23 February 2028
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Simha on 28 February 2028, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kanya on 24 July 2028
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 26 December 2028
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 2028 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 Shri Satyanarayan Puja Vrat Calendar
A month-by-month list of every Shri Satyanarayan Puja Vrat of the year - the full-moon (Purnima) fast and worship of Lord Vishnu as Satyanarayan, kept with the reading of the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha and the offering of sheera (panchamrit) prasad. Each is named by its lunar month, with the Purnima 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.
