Shri Satyanarayan Puja Vrat Calendar 2031
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.
The Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar lists 13 dates in 2031, from Pausha Purnima — Satyanarayan Vrat on 8 January through Margashirsha Purnima — Satyanarayan Vrat on 28 December. The year runs through Vikram Samvat 2087 – 2088. 2031 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (Adhik)), the extra lunar month that pushes several dates later than usual.

Frequently asked questions about the Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar 2031
How many festivals and vrats does the Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar list in 2031?
The Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar lists 13 dates in 2031, of which 13 are vrats. The first is Pausha Purnima — Satyanarayan Vrat on Wednesday, 8 January 2031, and the last is Margashirsha Purnima — Satyanarayan Vrat on Sunday, 28 December 2031.
Which traditional year does 2031 correspond to in the Satyanarayan Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2031 spans Vikram Samvat 2087 – 2088. 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 2031?
Yes. 2031 carries an Adhik Maas (Bhadrapada (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 2031 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2031?
2031 has 5 eclipses:
- 7 May 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 May 2031 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 5 June 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
- 30 October 2031 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 15 November 2031 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
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 2031?
Yes - 3 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2031:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 17 February 2031
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishchika on 14 June 2031, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Dhanu on 15 October 2031
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 2031 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.
