Frequently asked questions about the Mithila Panchang 2027

How many festivals and vrats does the Mithila Panchang list in 2027?

The Mithila Panchang lists 29 dates in 2027, of which 2 are vrats. The first is Makar Sankranti (Tila Sankranti) on Friday, 15 January 2027, and the last is Vivah Panchami on Friday, 3 December 2027.

What are the main festival dates in the Mithila Panchang for 2027?

The first major observances of 2027 are:

  • Makar Sankranti (Tila Sankranti) - Friday, 15 January 2027
  • Saraswati Puja (Vasant Panchami) - Thursday, 11 February 2027

  • Chaitra Navratri / Basanti Puja - Wednesday, 7 April 2027
  • Jur Sital (Maithili New Year) - Wednesday, 14 April 2027
Which month of 2027 has the most observances in the Mithila Panchang?

September 2027 is the fullest month with 5 dates, including Haritalika Teej, Chaurchan (Chaturchandra), Anant Chaturdashi, Pitru Paksha (Shradh), Mahalaya.

Which traditional year does 2027 correspond to in the Mithila Panchang?

The Gregorian year 2027 spans La. Sam. 907 – 908. 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 Mithila Panchang opens on the current month.
