ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਕੈਲੰਡਰ — ਜੂਨ 2029

Lunar Months & Solar Transition

The Gregorian month of ਜੂਨ most often spans the lunar months of Jyeshtha and Ashadha in the Vedic calendar. The Sun moves through Mithuna rashi (Gemini), with Mithuna Sankranti around June 15 marking the Sun's entry into Gemini. Because the Hindu calendar is lunisolar — its months are tied to the Moon while its year is corrected against the Sun — the precise start of each lunar month shifts year to year. The transitions for ਜੂਨ 2029 are reflected in the day-by-day grid above.

Significance of ਜੂਨ in the Vedic Tradition

June is the month of Ganga. Ganga Dussehra, falling on Jyeshtha Shukla Dashami, commemorates the descent of the river Ganga from heaven to earth at the prayer of Bhagiratha — a foundational story of Hindu cosmology. The following day, Nirjala Ekadashi, is considered the most austere of the year's 24 Ekadashis — observed without even water — and is said to grant the merit of all 24 Ekadashis when undertaken correctly. The summer solstice falls in late June, when the Sun reaches its northernmost point and Uttarayana technically ends — though traditional Vedic calendars set this as Karka Sankranti, around July 15.

Muhurta & Practical Guidance for ਜੂਨ 2029

June marriage muhurtas are concentrated in Jyeshtha Shukla Paksha. After that the Ashadha month begins, which in many traditions limits major auspicious events until Diwali due to the upcoming Chaturmas (when Lord Vishnu is said to sleep). Practical inaugurations and griha-pravesh are still supported on the cleaner Ashadha Shukla days, but consult your tradition's specific calendar.
