- New Year - Friday, 1 January 2027
- National Youth Day - Tuesday, 12 January 2027

Which month of 2027 has the most observances in the Indian Calendar?
April 2027 is the fullest month with 14 dates, including Navreh, Ugadi / Gudi Padwa / Chaitra Navratri, Cheti Chand (Sindhi New Year), Yamuna Chhath (Yamuna Jayanti), Ambedkar Jayanti, Bohag Bihu (Rongali Bihu), Pana Sankranti (Maha Vishuba), Puthandu (Tamil New Year).
Which traditional year does 2027 correspond to in the Indian Calendar?
The Gregorian year 2027 spans Shaka Samvat 1948 – 1949. 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.
How do I see the tithi and nakshatra for a specific date in 2027?
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 Indian Calendar opens on the current month.
