Frequently asked questions about the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar 2027
How many festivals and vrats does the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar list in 2027?
The Ekadashi Vrat Calendar lists 25 dates in 2027. The first is Saphala Ekadashi on Sunday, 3 January 2027, and the last is Saphala Ekadashi on Thursday, 23 December 2027.
What are the main festival dates in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar for 2027?
The first major observances of 2027 are:
- Saphala Ekadashi - Sunday, 3 January 2027
- Pausha Putrada Ekadashi - Tuesday, 19 January 2027
- Shattila Ekadashi - Tuesday, 2 February 2027
- Jaya Ekadashi - Wednesday, 17 February 2027
- Vijaya Ekadashi - Thursday, 4 March 2027
- Amalaki Ekadashi - Thursday, 18 March 2027
Which traditional year does 2027 correspond to in the Ekadashi Vrat Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2027 spans Vikram Samvat 2083 – 2084. 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 2027?
No. 2027 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 2027?
2027 has 5 eclipses:
- 6 February 2027 - Annular solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), not visible from India
- 21 February 2027 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
- 18 July 2027 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan), penumbral only, so no Sutak will be observed
- 2 August 2027 - Total solar eclipse (Surya Grahan), visible in India, so Sutak Kaal will be observed
- 17 August 2027 - Penumbral lunar eclipse (Chandra 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 2027?
Yes - 5 sign changes among the slow grahas in 2027:
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Karka on 25 January 2027, moving retrograde
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mesha on 3 June 2027
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Simha on 26 June 2027
- Shani (Saturn) enters Meena on 20 October 2027, moving retrograde
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kanya on 26 November 2027
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 2027 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 Ekadashi Vrat Calendar
A month-by-month list of every Ekadashi of the year - the eleventh-tithi fasting days sacred to Lord Vishnu - including Nirjala, Devshayani, Prabodhini (Dev Uthani), Mokshada / Vaikuntha, Putrada and Saphala, with the name, paksha, 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.
