Sindhi Calendar 2029 - festivals and vrats through the year
The Sindhi Calendar lists 21 dates in 2029, opening with Tirmoori (Makar Sankranti) on 14 January and closing with Guru Nanak Jayanti on 21 November. Of these, 1 are vrats (fasting observances).

Months of the Sindhi Calendar in 2029
The Sindhi Calendar does not begin its year on 1 January, so each of its months straddles two Gregorian ones. These are the months that ran through 2029, covering Vikram Samvat 2085 – 2086. A month marked part is one the Gregorian year cuts short at its own start or end.

The year also carries an Adhik Maas, the extra lunar month of Chaitra, running from 16 March 2029 to 13 April 2029. Cheti Chand (Sindhi New Year) falls on 15 April, 17 days later in the year than in 2028 - a lunar year runs about eleven days short of a solar one.

How many festivals and vrats does the Sindhi Calendar list in 2029?
The Sindhi Calendar lists 21 dates in 2029, of which 1 are vrats. The first is Tirmoori (Makar Sankranti) on Sunday, 14 January 2029, and the last is Guru Nanak Jayanti on Wednesday, 21 November 2029.
What are the main festival dates in the Sindhi Calendar for 2029?
The first major observances of 2029 are:
- Tirmoori (Makar Sankranti) - Sunday, 14 January 2029
- Basant Panchami - Friday, 19 January 2029
- Maha Shivaratri - Sunday, 11 February 2029
- Holi - Thursday, 1 March 2029
- Chaitra Navratri Begins - Saturday, 14 April 2029
- Cheti Chand (Sindhi New Year) - Sunday, 15 April 2029
Which traditional year does 2029 correspond to in the Sindhi Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2029 spans Vikram Samvat 2085 – 2086. 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 2029?
Yes. 2029 carries an Adhik Maas (Chaitra (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 2029 dates can look out of place beside a neighbouring year.
Will there be any eclipses in 2029?
2029 has 6 eclipses:
- 14 January 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 12 June 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 26 June 2029 - Total lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), not visible from India
- 11 July 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 5 December 2029 - Partial solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 December 2029 - 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 1 of these will be kept in India.
Will Guru or Shani change sign in 2029?
Yes - 4 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2029:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kanya on 29 March 2029, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha on 8 August 2029
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Tula on 25 August 2029
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mesha on 5 October 2029, moving retrograde
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.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2029?
Use the month grid above: pick a month from the selector, then tap any day to open its full panchang - tithi with start and end times, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, and the inauspicious periods (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika Kalam). Set your city in the box at the top first, because these timings are sunrise-based and shift with location. The Sindhi Calendar opens on the current month.
